FAQs

Can I make these without a food processor?

A powerful blender can work, although you’ll probably need to stop and scrape the sides more frequently.

Do energy balls need to be refrigerated?

They’ll survive a day out of the fridge perfectly well, but keeping them refrigerated at home gives them a firmer texture and helps them last longer.

Can I freeze them?

Yes. Freeze them in an airtight container and take out however many you need. They’ll defrost quickly.
