Get your tastebuds ready because they’re in for a treat!
These Sweet Potato Energy Balls taste like ice-cream and are made with 5 simple healthy ingredients.
One or two of these energy balls will keep you going for a good couple of hours because they’re packed with healthy fats from almond butter and coconut oil.
For this recipe, I’m using a nut butter I found at Trader Joe’s which is a blend of walnuts, pecans, macadamias and almonds. It’s 100% peanut and sugar-free, but feel free to use any nut butter of your choice.
These Sweet Potato Energy Balls are great to enjoy as a snack on the go and/or help you take control of sweet cravings in a healthy way.
You know…when you want something sweet after your meals? Instead of going for a sugar-loaded candy bar, grab one of these sweet potato energy balls to crush down your cravings.
I hope you enjoy this healthy snack as much as my friends and I do!
