I recently started ordering from Thrive Market and have been enjoying getting pantry staples at home rather than having to go looking around in stores. They are known for selling organic foods and natural products at 25-50% below traditional retail prices. Now who does not like that? Don’t forget delivery to your doorstep! Thrive Market has all the ingredients I need to make these energy balls. I ordered a jar of Justin’s Almond Butter, our favorite. Give them a try if you have not already. Here is a special discount from Thrive for my readers – 25% first order + one month free trial! You can also make almond butter at home with my easy one-ingredient recipe in a blender. These energy balls are also very customizable. No almond butter? Substitute with peanut butter or any other nut butter. Don’t want chocolate…skip them. Use Almond flour in place of whole almonds. Like chia seeds…add them in. It is that easy!
How to make Almond Butter Energy Balls?
It is very easy to make these energy balls. I could make 9 balls from the batter. The number of balls will change based on the size you roll them in. That is all…it took just 10 minutes to make these cuties!
Are these Chocolate Almond Date Energy Balls healthy?
They are not the healthiest thing in the world. However they are healthy-ish. They have all the good ingredients. Okay…skip the chocolate chips and they are even healthier 🙂 But dont forget, they are perfect to satisfy those sweet cravings! These almond energy bites are about 110 calories a piece.
How Long Do Energy Balls Last?
These energy balls can last between 7 days up to a months. That said, in our house they don’t last more than a week for sure. I just leave them out in an air tight container on the counter for up to a week. Refrigerate if you want to store them for longer.
