Notella Energy Balls

This an ideal little pick me up snack to get you through the day. Instead of a processed cereal bar or protein bar from the shop, try make these in advance for a natural tasty energy bar. They last up to 3 weeks so you can batch make these with no worries. I find this particularly useful in the morning with a coffee before the gym. Carbs + caffeine is the perfect exercise fuel!
