Gluten-Free Vegan Nuttzo Chocolate Nut and Seed Energy Balls
If you are looking for a nutrient-dense snack that will give you energy as well as keep you satisfied, these Gluten-Free Vegan Nuttzo Chocolate Nut and Seed Energy Balls are perfect!
They contain almost every healthy nut and seed known to man and making them is as easy as putting all the ingredients in a bowl and stirring it up.
And don't worry if you don't have every single ingredient in the recipe...just use whatever nuts and seeds you have on hand.
Instead of making my own nut butter for this recipe, I decided to use the Nuttzo Choco Spread, which is an organic nut butter loaded with peanuts, almonds, hazelnuts, cashews, brazil nuts, flax seeds, sunflower seeds and 70% dark chocolate.
One of the good things about the spread is it contains 650 mg of ALA Omega-3 per serving.
Plus, you have all the healthy fats and nutrients from the added nuts and seeds in the recipe too!
So this is an easy recipe that's fun to make with your little ones and can be kept in the refrigerator for whenever you need a quick bite of energy.
And they're organic, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, no-bake and contain no refined sugar!
