Facts about the Ingredients of our oat energy balls
Oats: Oats are rich in minerals, B vitamins, and an excellent source of complex carbohydrates and fiber, especially beta-glucan. This soluble fiber helps regulate blood sugar, lowers cholesterol, and boosts the immune system.
Almonds and Hemp Seeds: These ingredients add plant-based protein and healthy fats. Almonds also provide vitamin E and magnesium, while hemp seeds are a good source of a balanced ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids.
Maple Syrup: Compared to refined sugar, maple syrup offers some antioxidants and minerals like zinc and manganese.
Storage Tips
Store the oat energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they will last for up to two weeks. For longer storage, they can also be frozen – so you’ll always have a healthy snack ready.
