Healthy Peanut Butter Energy Balls – a powerful snack

We all know these moments when sweet cravings are overwhelming us in the middle of a diet, don’t we? Raise your hands if you know exactly what I’m talking about.

Today we hit the 70°F mark here in Austria, so this means that it’s time to ban our thick and cozy pullovers into the winter closet and put out shirts and skinny jeans. You see the point here, don’t ya? Right! I’m talking about wearing close-fitting clothes and getting active. The couch potato weekends are almost over for now.

With being that said, it’s quite obvious that I want to point out that we need to get in shape for summer. I have to admit, that I’m always gaining a couple of pounds during the cold and also sluggish months.

These healthy Peanut Butter Energy Balls are supporting us on our way towards to our summer body. Because they are all naturally sweetened, they are the perfect snack when you want to stick to your goals to lose weight but also have a sweet tooth.

This Peanut Butter Energy Balls recipe requires just 5 ingredients – 5 minutes – 1 bowl!

It can’t be easier to get yourself a healthy snack. Just put the ingredients – rolled oats – peanut butter – flax seeds – maple syrup – dried cranberries – together in a bowl and stir until combined. Roll into 16 balls. Finished and enjoy!

I highly recommend using homemade peanut butter. It’s done in 2 minutes, and you know what you are eating. When you want to have your homemade peanut butter also completely sugar-free, replace the 1 tbsp of powdered sugar with honey.
