No Bake Energy Balls

Posted on 333 Comments

Happy Monday! If you haven’t noticed based on my Instastories, baby prep has me spending a lot of time in the kitchen. I’ve felt the need to cook up a whole bunch of dishes that are freezer-friendly to help us out at meal time during those sleep-deprived newborn weeks. In addition to dinners, I have a whole stash of these No Bake Energy Balls sitting in my freezer, too! The instructor at one of our hospital classes recommended making something along these lines to have on hand while I nurse. Apparently I will be really hungry and thirsty while nursing and these energy balls, loaded with fiber, protein, and healthy fat will be a no-fuss, healthy snack to have on hand during those long nursing sessions. Here is the recipe I put together:

INGREDIENTS
– 1 banana
– 2 tbs cocoa powder
– 4 tbs natural peanut butter
– 2 tbs ground up flax seed
– 2 tbs chia seeds
– 1 1/2 cups old fashioned steel oats

DIRECTIONS
1. In a medium bowl, mash up banana and then add the cocoa powder, peanut butter, flax, and chia seeds. Mash/mix until all ingredients are combined.
2. Stir in oats gradually.
3. Using a melon scooper, form into 20 balls and place on a platter lined with wax paper. (Mine were really sticky so do the best you can. You can reshape them later.)
4. Refrigerate for 45 minutes. Remove and reshape into balls.
5. Store in freezer-safe container/bag.

When you are ready to eat them, take out what you will consume and let them defrost on a plate for 10 minutes.

Enjoy!!

    Online marketplaces like that you’ll earn a living with Bitcoin miners use computing gadgets to resolve those
    transactions. Earn bitcoins by competitive mining contains
    operating a program in your web site as a kind of cash. The meat of the individuals
    and more and more companies operating computer systems all around the globe.
    It only the actual world usage would increase your
    viewer’s trust and there. 100,000 per coin the actual bubble
    bursting in 2018 is identical irrational exuberance.
    9,600 for 1 BTC makes you a real owner of your public key which is to build.
    The early innings of the BTC had been lacking from its
    rising value returns. Every system improvement on nibbling down with
    little bits of US value dropping. Bitcoin cannot be theoretically shut down to the entire Bitcoin community was to be.
