Hey there, fellow foodies! Today I’m super excited to share my absolute favorite afternoon pick-me-up snack that’ll make your coworkers totally jealous. Trust me, once you try these No-Bake Energy Balls, you’ll never go back to those boring vending machine snacks again!
These little bites of heaven are packed with protein, healthy fats, and just enough sweetness to satisfy those 3 PM cravings. Plus, they’re ridiculously easy to make – because who has time for complicated recipes when you’re juggling deadlines, am I right? 😉
What You’ll Need:
• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter if that’s your jam)
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of sea salt
Girl, let me tell you – these ingredients together are pure magic!
The How-To (Quick & Easy, Promise!):
1. Throw all ingredients into a large bowl (literally just dump it all in there, no fancy technique needed).
2. Mix everything together until well combined. Get your hands in there if needed – sometimes you gotta get a little messy to make something amazing!
3. Pop the mixture in the fridge for about 30 minutes (perfect time to catch up on those emails or, let’s be real, scroll through TikTok).
4. Roll into bite-sized balls (I usually get about 12-15 from this recipe).
5. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week (if they last that long!).
Y’all, if you’re loving this recipe and want more of my quick and delicious snack ideas, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak! I’m always sharing new recipes that’ll make your workday so much better.
Pro tip: I like to make a double batch on Sunday nights so I’m set for the whole week. These babies are perfect for those times when lunch feels like it was forever ago, and dinner is still hours away. They’re also great for sharing with your work bestie – though I won’t judge if you keep them all to yourself!
The best part? You can totally customize these to your taste. Sometimes I add shredded coconut, sometimes I swap the chocolate chips for dried cranberries, and when I’m feeling fancy, I’ll roll them in cocoa powder. The possibilities are endless!

P.S. If your energy balls aren’t holding together well, add a tiny bit more peanut butter. Works like a charm every time! And if you’re taking these to work, maybe make an extra batch – your colleagues will definitely be asking for some once they see (and smell) these beauties! 🍫
