Breakfast is a Priority

Do you love using what is already in your cupboards for recipes?  That is one reason I love this Crunchy Energy Balls recipe so much…..I didn’t have to buy any special ingredients.  We were stocked up on cereal during my last run to Walmart.  I knew the concept I was trying for and when I saw the Post Cereals Raisin Bran on my bar…I knew it would be the perfect binding for this recipe. The plump, juicy raisins bring such a great flavor to these balls!

Crunchy Energy Balls

Breakfast has always been an important meal for me, but I am working hard to make it a priority for my WHOLE family.  One way to promote breakfast to my family is by keeping it in front of their faces…literally!!  I will just sit our boxes of cereal on the counter so they can’t miss it in the morning, LOL!

  1. This definitely looks like something I would want to eat. I’ve never tried to make energy balls! I didn’t realize they were that easy to make. I will definitely be making them now.

  2. These look so good! This is such a great breakfast idea. My son would love these and they would be easy to take on the go.

  3. 3 ingredients for such a filling snack? This is awesome! Thanks for the recipe, I love peanut butter and I can’t wait to try this.

  4. I have been putting off making protein or energy balls because I am afraid I would eat them all even before they get a chance to be placed inside a jar. I will make these crunchy energy balls and do my best to save some for later. 🙂
