Energy Balls #SundaySupper
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.
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.
- ½ cup crunchy peanut butter
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 cup oats
- ⅓ cup raisins
- ⅓ cup cashews, chopped
- ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips
- MIx all ingredients together and chill. These can also be frozen.

July 5, 2015 at 9:41 amAll I know is that I need that wooden goblet to enjoy these out of.
Tara Noland says
July 5, 2015 at 10:14 amThat wooden goblet was my dad’s and he loved mixed nuts and would always have some in that for a snack at night! I think he would have loved these Energy Balls too!
Jessica Stamps says
July 5, 2015 at 11:53 amAre cashews the only nuts that will work?
Tara Noland says
July 5, 2015 at 1:21 pmAbsolutely not, you can put in whatever you like or omit them all together. Click on the link “Recipe adapted from Kraft Peanut Butter Snack Bites” and see other variations. It is right after the recipe.
