Base ingredients 🥣
These are the things you should have to make the most simple version 😋 Everything else is a bonus!
Chunky, fine, instant etc- it doesn't really matter… You can also blend them to make them ultra fine if you like!
Oats!
Vanilla is my go to but you can expreiment with any… I just chuck in ½ a scoop
Protein Powder
A big dollop… I like crunchy 😉 but smooth incorporates better
Peanut Butter
A tablespoon… ish? Sweeten to taste!
Honey
A great alternative to honey! Neither is better… I use whats available.
Maple Syrup
Just a little to make it easier enough to mix, not too much or it wont stick together!
Water
Or any milk really… instead of water if you want something a little different
Almond milk
Flavour 😋
Change what your version of energy balls tastes like, make them your own by mixing it up!! 😉
Not for everyone but i loooove rainins
Raisins
I'm just addicted to chocolate so this is another excuse to eat it
Chocolate chips
Chopped up is easier, adds flavour and crunch 😎
Nuts
Flavouuuurrrrr 😋
Dried Fruit
Make them coconutty- if you use chocolate protein powder or cacao powder this is the BOMB
Coconut Flakes
Add a little to give a chocolatey kick
Cacao Powder
Any spices change them up quite a lot- personally I love cinnamon…
Cinnamon
Texture ⚡️
A bit of crunch makes a big difference to me! I don't want them squidgy (though you might!)
They don't add so much taste as they do texture
Sunflower Seeds
Again, not for taste, just a bit of an extra health boost
Chia Seeds
These add a bit of protein but also thicken them up quite a bit
