Energy balls are great for curbing hunger pangs between meals. I love them! They're practical, healthy and make a great hiking snack! They are full of healthy, natural ingredients and the lemon zest gives these little balls a fresh, citrusy aroma. Their flavour is incredibly intense and provides a wonderfully fresh kick. These energy balls take less than 10 minutes to prepare and if you stock up on them, you'll have plenty to nibble on for the whole of next week, too!
