Fight the Winter Blues with our dairy free, egg free, gluten free, no cook, easy peasy Energy Balls recipe!
If you missed Gregorio’s informative talk last week about how to Fight the Winter Blues by choosing the right food then here are a couple of our favourite recipes from it.
Energy balls are the perfect snack as they are full of healthy fats, protein and fibre. Easy to make and to store, you can enjoy them as an alternative go-to snack to biscuits which can deplete you.
One recipe contains no nuts and they are sugar free, dairy and egg free and can be gluten free too. They require no baking so cost effective too.
