Energy balls without nuts

Nothing like starting the weekend stomping, full of vitality and wanting to eat what's left of summer ... ahhh! What do you not have energy for so much ?. Well, that must be remedied, so we better start preparing energy balls without nuts.

A poor diet or not drinking enough water or fluids can lead to tiredness, fatigue and exhaustion. So it is important to check that our diet is balanced and above all as varied as possible. This way we make sure that our organism takes all the necessary nutrients.

We should not fall into despair thinking that balanced diets they are serious, strict and gray. On the contrary, they play a lot with the combination of colors and flavors mixing cereals, nuts, seeds, legumes, fruits and vegetables. This makes it much easier to combine them with protein dishes based on meat or fish.

But best of all, they don't give up on sweets. They have a whole range of small whims like these energy balls without nuts that we can take in the lunch or snack. And that they will give us enough energy not to arrive at lunch or dinner passed out from hunger.

They are very easy to make, so the little ones in the house can take care of everything, especially modeling and coating in coconut. In addition, these snacks are totally suitable for vegan, celiac and intolerant to eggs, lactose and nuts… Can you ask for more?
