Once all your ingredients are well mixed, it’s time to shape your Nutty Bliss Trail Mix Energy Balls. The ideal size for energy balls is typically about one inch in diameter. This size is perfect for popping into your mouth as a quick snack without being too overwhelming. To achieve the perfect shape, use your hands to scoop a small amount of the mixture—about the size of a tablespoon. Roll it between your palms until it forms a smooth ball. If the mixture feels too sticky, you can lightly dampen your hands with water or a bit of coconut oil to help with the rolling process.

Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup almond butter (or your favorite nut butter)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup chopped mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips or dark chocolate chunks

1/4 cup dried fruit (such as raisins, cranberries, or apricots)

1/4 cup toasted coconut flakes (optional for added flavor)

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients: Begin by placing the rolled oats, chopped mixed nuts, mini chocolate chips (or dark chocolate chunks), dried fruit, toasted coconut flakes (if you opted to include them), cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt into a large mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

    Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium-sized bowl, blend the almond butter and honey (or maple syrup) together until you achieve a smooth consistency. If your almond butter is too thick, microwave it for about 20 seconds to soften it, making the mixing process easier.

      Mix Together: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredient blend. Using a spatula or your hands, thoroughly combine the two mixtures until every component is coated and sticks together. If the mixture appears too crumbly and does not hold together well, add a little more almond butter or honey to achieve the desired consistency.

        Shape the Balls: Once the mixture is well-combined, take a tablespoon-sized portion and roll it into a ball using your hands. Place each formed ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Continue this process until you’ve used up all of the mixture.

          Chill: After shaping the energy balls, refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes. This chilling time allows them to firm up, making them easier to handle and enjoy.

            Serve & Store: Enjoy your Nutty Bliss Trail Mix Energy Balls as a nourishing snack on-the-go! Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or frozen for longer storage for those moments when you need a quick energy boost.
