Mmmmm, nut balls. Said no one ever.
I mean, that’s literally what this recipe is: a bunch of nuts ground up and rolled into a spherical form known commonly as a “ball”. Buuuuut we’re also immature and cackled with laughter every time we texted about this recipe. Can you send me a pic of the balls? We figured you would be much less likely to make them/eat them/offer them to guests without a little rebranding.
For the sake of making them sound as appealing as they are, we’ve renamed them energy bites. ENERGY BITES, PEOPLE.
You’re welcome.
Raw Energy Bites
Just don't call them balls, y'all.
