Date Protein Energy Balls

These bite-sized snacks are just what I need to power up or as a pick me up after a workout session. These balls give me a burst of energy with a healthy dose of fat, fiber and carbohydrates. Not that you can use any nut or seed combination you like in this type of snack. I do alternate options based on what I have on hand, so you can too!
