Sweet, sticky dates act as the glue for these no-bake energy balls. Perfect for hikes or during sports, this healthy snack travels well. For the best flavor and texture, use Medjool dates—the largest and most luscious date variety. Look for them in the produce department or near other dried fruits.

Looks good, will try it out and update. By the way though, really shouldn't use a nut free tag, since peanut butter is still considered a nut product and is still dangerous to anyone with a nut allergy.

I always have these energy bites on hand, especially if I'm running around all day. They keep in the fridge for quite a while and are perfect for a quick on-the-go snack.
