So this little bite size idea was brought to you by an awesome reader. She emailed me with a non-paleo recipe of energy bites that were combined using oats and asked if I could come up with something! I love her. Well, oats make poop float in your bloodstream, and I personally don’t want that, so I came up with my own little version of energy bites. And they taste like heaven. Laura said she liked them because they weren’t overly sweet. I personally don’t think there is such thing as “overly sweet” but you get my flow.
OMG. I have the greatest news of the year. I caught a ball in kickball, on Tuesday. I, Juli B., caught a fly ball that a human being had kicked. Ok, if you have no idea why I think this is a big deal, you need to read some of my past posts. I don’t like balls sports. Or, really, sports in general. I like being in a kitchen. Or lifting a barbell over my head. But when a ball is flying my way, I freeze. Seriously seize up. So when a ball flew in my direction and there was no other teammate around me to take over, I had to do it. I had to put my arms out, say f*ck f*ck f*ck multiple times, and hope for the best. Luck obviously played in my favor that one play. Thank goodness or my kickball team would have thought I was even more inept than I already seem. Did I mention I have a really good looking team? Oh, I did. But seriously, wait until I get a picture for you guys, the men and women are straight up studs.
Have you watched The New Girl yet? You haven’t?! You’re dumb. It’s seriously absolutely hilarious. It’s one of those shows that you have to listen very carefully to because of all the good slip-in comments that bounce around throughout each episode. And it now has my new crushes in the newer episodes….Dermont Mulroney. F*ck he’s dreamy. Like, epic dreamy. I love him. I wish he’d wod with me.

Love this recipe!! I didn’t have any flax seed meal so I substituted coconut flour and they came out great. My daughter loves them and my husband had about 5 for dessert tonight 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
So, I never got around to making these (no surprise), but a co-worker friend of mine who has started stalking the blog decided to make them last night. She hooked me up with about 10 of these. Holy smokes. Better than any brownie, Snickers bar, whatever. Wow. Good.
So good! remind me of no bake cookies… only in ball form :). Thanks, Juli!
I just made these. All I could say is “HOLY BALLS!!!” These rock!!! I ididn’t think I had flax meal so I used almong meal instead and then found what ground flax seeds, so I put some of that in there too. Is that the same as flax meal?
yes ma’am!
Mine don’t look as nice, but wow are these amazing.
Once again, your recipes amaze me. These were delicious! I was out if chocolate chips, and they are so good without them. Thank you, Juli!
One word- AMAZING!!
This are AMAZING! I’ve made several batches already and also got my mom hooked on them. Any idea how many calories are in each ball?
No idea SJ, sorry 🙁
I love your balls! Yup I said it 🙂 I’ve been stalking your website for weeks now…seriously you rock. I’m going to make these puppies to have in my gear bag at my Spartan race…they couldn’t be more perfect. THANKS!!!
Now I have NO idea what poop in my bloodstream actually would be like but you sure don’t make it sound like a good thing.
I eat a gluten free diet (due to gluten intolerance) and am admittedly curious of the paleo ways. I am not ready to go completely paleo but I do think these BALLS will help me in my quest to eat “paleo clean” a few days a week and “non-paleo clean” a few days a week.
Can’t wait to check out more of your recipes!
