Raw Date Nut Energy Balls
Here's a great snack recipe from my sister in law. As you will see below, these tasty snacks are packed with nutrient dense nuts, seeds, and dried fruits. That's It!!!! No fillers. No sugar. Nothing more that God's providence packed tight in a little ball and ready to supply you with endless E-N-E-R-G-Y. These simple treats are packed with Omega 3 fatty acids (from the nuts), fiber, natural fruit sugars, and protein. What more could you ask for? Enjoy!
