These Hemp-Seed Energy Balls are a convenient and delicious snack that is perfect for warding off afternoon hunger pangs or for giving you an energy boost just before a workout. Plus, they’re easy to make and only require three ingredients! Dates are a wonderful source of natural sweetness and hold these energy balls together, while cashews add some protein and healthy fats.
