These simple truffles are the perfect recipe for ultimate energy nutrition while also satisfying your sweet tooth. Dates an incredible sugar source for fast energy. They’re also full of minerals giving your body a constant flow of electrolytes. Coconut is full of slow releasing energy allowing you to sustain energy over a long period of time.

They’re perfect for quick energy spurts but I honestly keep them around for when cookie cravings arise and I need a quick fix that truly satisfies my appetite.
