Walking down a snack aisle in the grocery store elicits a lot of eye rolling and groaning from me. Just about every product that is touting itself as a healthy way to give you energy throughout the day is really filled to the brim with sugar and artificial ingredients. I’m all for a balanced diet but most of these snacks are just processed fake food. Luckily there’s a bunch of other options to keep as feeling satiated between meals… Nuts. Fresh Fruit. Hard Boiled Eggs. Or you could make your own snacks, like these no bake Healthy Apricot Balls. They couldn’t be easier to make. Just throw the ingredients in a food processor, process until they are combined and roll into bite-sized balls. Simple! These healthy and nutritious bliss balls are perfectly sweet without any added sugar, and will get you through that 3pm slump when you find yourself wanting to reach for a chocolate bar. I love to make a double batch of these and keep them in them freezer to grab and go as I please. They keep for up to 3 months in the freezer so I don’t have to meal prep as often (or clean that dang food processor twice). Whether you’ve got little mouths to feed or just want a tasty snack for work, these energy bites will hit the spot.
