March 27, 2017 at 10:53 amThese look super similar to energy balls… Do they provide the same energy gain? Will be mega if they do as these look far easier to make

March 27, 2017 at 10:40 pmI don’t think I’ve had energy balls so I can’t really compare the two. The natural sugar from the dates along with the fat and protein from the nuts will definitely give you some long lasting energy.
