Energy balls can be as healthy as you like. You can alter the recipe to fit your diet as needed. You can control how much or little sugar, protein, and calories are in each bite. Dates are extremely good for you. They are naturally sweet so there is no need to add any extra sugar. They are full of fiber and antioxidants and are low in fat. Dates are also gluten free, as is unsweetened cocoa powder, so this snack is great for a gluten free or vegan diet. Eating a few of these when your energy is feeling low is a healthy way to get you through your day!
