Energy Balls

Makes 20 balls, eat 4-5 balls per day for a snack/energy boost.

1/2 Cup chopped nuts or seeds or a combination (ie: almonds, walnuts, sesame, sunflower)
1/2 Cup room temperature nut butter (ie:  peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter)
1/4 Cup honey or fruit spread or a combination
1/4 to 1/2 Cup of dried fruit (ie:  raisins, cranberries, dates, figs, apricots)

Mix ingredients together.  Form small balls, about the size of a quarter to make 20 balls.

Have fun with this recipe, roll the balls in chopped nuts or coconut, make it your way!

I keep these in the refrigerator ~ helps keep them firm.
