These are also perfect for when you need to get out the door for an early morning gym session & need refuelling after it, before work/your day ahead.

| Goji berry, oat, nut butter breakfast balls |
Feel free to switch up the ingredients e.g use some buckwheat/millet flakes in place of some oats etc but I feel this is pretty well balanced with the slow release fibre, good fats, protein and spice for flavour & balancing sugar levels.
Tip: I used wafer oats & the runny top part of my nut butter so if you want them to hold together well but don’t have ingredients in this form then I recommend you blitz the oats and seeds very quickly (around 3-4 seconds) in a processor first and maybe heat the nut butter slightly to make it runny/softer.
