FAQ About my Festive Energy Balls
Are energy bites good for you?
YES! Energy Bites or balls are good for you because they are made with whole food and often superfoods. They are high in protein, healthy carbs, fats, and fiber which can be the perfect guilt-free snack.
Do energy bites have to be refrigerated?
YES! All of my energy bites are best stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-7 days. You can also freeze energy bites. Put them on a single layer on a cookie sheet in the freezer. Once frozen you can transfer them to an airtight freezer container or even ziplock freezer bags to store. <---Amazon Affiliate Link
Why are my protein balls not sticking together?
If you are having trouble with your energy bites or protein balls not sticking together you can add a couple of drops of water to your mixture. That will often help. Sometimes it helps to use your hands to warm up the mixture a bit too. The bites will often firm up in the fridge.
