Hello my Dearest Foodies,
As I am writing this, I am waiting for my daughter to pick me up because today is my son in law's BD party and I made these for him. Well, I am sure he will not eat all of them; my daughter probably will, if there is any left after the party, lol.
Anyway, I had a different desert planed to make for this occasion, however, things didn't turned out as I was hopping, lol. Luckily, energy balls always save the day and you can even make them quite presentable. Not to forget, they are delicious, full of nutrients and easy to make!
I wish you a wonderful weekend and make sure you eat your fruits and veggies!

I thought of you Katie and all your dates, lol. Thank you so much π
I was too lazy to make balls last week, but I did make some bars at least that I'll share soon. Hope everyone enjoyed the celebration!
Ohhhhhhh i can wait to see those, because I was thinking making squares. I am just not sure what to do for the bottom layer. Whether I should do raw, or baked; spelt or gluten free. I have to sleep on it, but I am curious what you will come up with π
Very nice recipe and excellent presentation, as always :)
One question, though.
When do you add puffed quinoa and pumpkin seeds?
Thank you!
Thank you soooooooo much for visiting and letting me know about the mistake @fotostef. You know how it is when you writing something with one foot at the door, lol. I made the correction in the recipe now. I really appreciate your comment π
Mistakes can happen, it's only human :)
I guess............and thank you again π

I'm going to save this with every intention of making them. Yes hopefully sounds great though π―π
I am happy to hear that and they are very easy to make............thank you so much π
Those look almost too beautiful to eat Lena! I love superfood treats. Well done. I'm sure that they are going to love them. Enjoy your family time together dear @lenasveganliving
Awwwwwwwwww, thank you so much my Dear Tracey. Well my daughter put them in fridge for her self and the boys. Well, I am sure my son in law is going to have some too. But the guests didn't get any, lol. Otherwise, I enjoyed the time with my grandsons the most, I don't really care about parties. But I am sure you can relate to that π
Yes! I absolutely relate to not caring for parties. But time with the family is special. Enjoy every moment with those precious grandsons Lena! Children grow so fast....
Oh yes they do and since they turned three they are talking more every time I see them and it's so funny! But you know, even if your boy is younger π
Absolutely! He's two and he amazes us by his vocabulary and grasp of conversations! But he can also be funny. It's a special age watching small children discover the world around them. So inspiring
Yes! Exactly! I just love spending time with them π
Superfood desserts? Yummy!
salivating π€€
Thank you so much Sweetie π
What a lovely little treat to take to a party! Hope you had a grand time!
Thank you Melinda, my daughter saved them for her and the boys. There was a big cake for the guests, lol. But yes I had grand time with my grand sons, although, the party was fun too π
Your daughter is very wise! I wouldn't want to share them either!
Yeah, she is, lol...............I am glad you agree π
Ohhhh...they look absolutely delicious if their are any left over can you please sent them this way....lol :)
I really wish I could Angelo...........thank you so much for visiting π
It's ok maybe one day i will be out in that part of the world and i will drop in on you...lol :)
Sounds like a plan π

Nutritious and delicious looking! I cannot even begin to tell you how much you have taught me, ever since I met you. I will admit, it is things like this that have really resonated with my family and friends.
Quick easy bites.
