Superfood Spheres

There’s a reason why energy ball recipes abound – they are one of the quickest, easiest, most delicious and portable ways to pack in that superfood nutrition. This recipe is no exception. Raw nuts and seeds combine with antioxidant-rich goji berries, stone ground almond butter, crunchy cacao nibs, and luscious cacao butter, which helps these delicious morsels hold their sphere shape, and also lends a delicious, subtle white chocolate flavor.
