These energy balls are full of your favorite ingredients, that you think you're eating a delicious cookie minus the bad stuff.  Peanut butter, honey and oats are combined with power foods such as cranberries, almonds and flax seed to give you a tasty snack with a quick boost during your busy day.

Chocolate Cranberry Almond Energy BallsLet me tell you a little story about our friend, Paul, who almost missed his chance to taste these delicious bites of energy.  He and his wife were visiting us the other day, and because they were traveling, I offered them an energy ball from my fridge.  His wife immediately ate one, and then another, as she went on about how good they tasted.

Chocolate Cranberry Almond Energy BallsPaul, on the other hand, was very skeptical after finding out there were flax seed meal and chia seeds involved.  I could hear what he was thinking: "A healthy snack that probably tastes like one of those chalky power bars!"

Chocolate Cranberry Almond Energy BallsWe finally convinced him to just take a bite.  So, a bite he took.  Then another.  And, another...then another energy ball was taken out of the container by Paul's own fingers!  He quickly apologized for doubting us, and even said that he loved them.

Chocolate Cranberry Almond Energy BallsLet this story be a lesson to all of you.  😉

Chocolate Cranberry Almond Energy BallsStore in an airtight container in the fridge to snack on during the day.  Or, throw a couple into a baggie to take to work or a picnic.  These are also great for gifting to a friend who's traveling, or maybe going through a rough time and needs a little "pick-me-up".

Chocolate Cranberry Almond Energy BallsNot only can I assure you that these are easy to eat, they are also easy to make.  Quickly mix the ingredients together in a bowl, scoop them into balls and refrigerate.  They will last you about a week, if you don't share them all with your skeptical friends.  😉
