Energy Balls 4ever

I legit don’t think I’ve ever eaten more balls in my entire life than in the past 7 days. If you look in my freezer you’ll find about 200 balls (not an exaggeration) in gallon-sized bags. Balls on balls on balls. Between all of the recent energy balls recipes, recipe tests and meal prepping, I think at least half of my freezer is filled with balls. And we ain’t mad about it ๐Ÿ˜€

No Food Processor Required!

One great thing about these apple chai energy balls is that they require nothing more than a bowl to make a batch! Most of our energy balls recipes require a food processor to process the ingredients together, but because the apples are chopped not pureed, and we’re using rolled oats and almond butter instead of almonds or cashews, nothing needs to be blended up! So, if you don’t have a high-speed food processor, you’re in luck. apple chai energy balls ingredients in a bowl

Apple Chai Energy Balls

This recipe screams all things Fall. If I had to chose a dried fruit to eat for the rest of my life, I’d definitely choose dried apples! Instead of pureeing the dried apples like we typically do with dates in energy ball recipes, we thought we’d chop them up into bite-size pieces to keep some good texture. And we were not disappointed! The base of this recipe is almond butter + rolled oats + honey. Then, we added in dried apples and chai spices. YAS. Easy, delicious, and tastes like straight up autumn in your mouth.

I love energy balls for snack. I haven’t made any in awhile, so this is top of the to do list! Perfect for apple harvest season – especially if you dry your own apples!

Come over and get some because I CAN’T EAT THEM ALL. Well I could, but I’ve been trying to limit myself to like 2 or 3 a day ๐Ÿ™‚

Haha, a freezer full of balls is definitely not a bad thing! My sister is already making requests for Thanksgiving. She says ‘I know you have a freezer stock!” She is right. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Sisters are the best <3

LOL that is hilarious. Every time I go to my sister’s she’s sad when I don’t have balls. I guess she’s just grown accustom to me always having balls on me.

I think these are my favourite balls so far (favourite of your and Davida’s ball week, although I think I will make all of them). I love the apple and almond butter combo.

๐Ÿ™‚ The best, right. However, if you don’t want to get your hands all messy a food processor might not be a bad idea!
