I am usually on the go all day. I drive from one yoga class to the next and basically live out of my backpack. So I have to keep snacks in there ready to be chomped down throughout the day. Energy balls are the perfect thing. These pistachio, cranberry, oatmeal balls were an indulging mix. They’re a bit sticky with the honey but that gives it the most magnificent sweet taste. Check out my carrot cake energy balls I made the other week if you want a different approach to your energy.
