Are you on the road this summer? Need a great snack that the kids will love and not full of nasty ingredients. These Energy Balls are easy to make, no baking required, refrigerate or even better, freeze and are the perfect on the road snack. Plus, they won’t fill your car with a million crumbs like chips or pretzels will.

This Food That Travels #SundaySupper event is being hosted by Marion from Life Tastes Good. Thank you Marion for all your hard work.

Energy Balls by Noshing With The Nolands

These sweet treats will give you the energy you need to with stand a long travel day. They are healthy and full of protein, and fiber but better yet they are delicious.

I have to admit, more than one of these little Energy Balls were popped into my mouth while making them. Try some today and put your favorite ingredients in them or what you have on hand. The whole family will thank you for them. I am now ready for our road trip as these are stowed away in the freezer, waiting for us.
