I made these a few weeks ago thinking I would take them skiing in the mountains with us… but then they became my daily mid-morning work snack and before I knew it, they were all gone before we went skiing again! Good thing they’re so easy to make cause we’re heading out for a week-long family ski trip next week and I’m thinking of whipping up a batch before we leave!

Made using gluten-free Stoked Oats, a great Canadian-based company from right here in Alberta! If you’re curious to try Stoked Oats, using my discount code CAMPKITCHEN10 when ordering through their website to get 10% off.

There’s really not much to this recipe. Literally throw everything into a bowl, mix it all up, and chill in the fridge for a bit. Then roll into 1-inch balls using your hands. And that’s all there is to it!

These are a great snack for activities like hiking, skiing, kayaking, biking, walking, etc. They provide long-lasting energy with carbohydrates, protein, and fats to help sustain you during those longer-duration activities.

Just a note: if you’re doing high intensity activities, go for more simple carbohydrate-based snacks like dried fruit, candy, or gels. These provide quick energy for our body to use right away.

There are so many different types of energy balls you can make! What are your favourites?
