We love peanut butter because it’s filling and energy-dense.  It’s a great source of plant-based protein, unsaturated fat and complex carbohydrate fiber.  These are the optimal kinds of protein, fat and fiber. 

These no-bake peanut butter and oatmeal energy balls are the perfect on the go snack to leave you feeling full, nourished and energized.
