I like that these snack balls use buckwheat flour and psyllium fiber, which makes them a bit different from usual energy bites. The instructions are straightforward: mix everything, roll into balls, and chill. It's nice that they keep in the fridge for up to five days, so I can make a batch ahead. Will try them soon as a quick grab-and-go snack.
