Every week we pull together some great Canadian recipes from Canadian food bloggers around the web featuring one main ingredient or dish. Energy Balls are a perfect little snack to power you through the day - here's 10 of our favourite Energy Ball recipes.
Energy balls are usually very quick and very easy to make and full of healthy ingredients. Dates and nut butters are usually the backbone and they're often sweetened with natural sweeteners as opposed to refined sugar. Throw in things like coconut, chia seeds, hemp seeds and flax and just one or two will power you through the slow hours of the afternoon. Here's 10 of our favourite energy ball recipes from FBC Members:
