At the beginning of the year, I started wearing an activity tracker. I started at a goal of 5,000 steps and have been increasing it by 500 steps every month. This month, I’m up to 10,000 — which is a lot of steps, at least for me.

By the end of the day, my calves are super sore and my body is tired from moving so much. It’s really taking a toll on my body. So I need to really prepare myself now. Pre-walking, I advise energy balls. I make these incredible no bake chocolate chip walnut energy balls that are just delicious. They’re a great pre-workout idea.

No Bake Chocolate Chip Walnut Energy Balls Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup walnuts
• 1/2 cup flaxseed
• 2 cups quick oats
• 1 cup mini chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

How To Make No Bake Chocolate Chip Walnut Energy Balls:

Chop the walnuts finely into small pieces, then add them to a bowl along with flaxseed, oats, and chocolate chips. Give them a quick stir.

Add the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla. Stir until combined.

Refrigerate uncovered for 30 minutes.

Using a cookie scoop, scoop rounded spoonfuls of the mixture. Put them in your palms and squeeze them to create more of a rounded shape. Then, put them on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. If you’re pressed for time, you can just scoop and drop. They won’t be as pretty, but they’ll still be delicious.

Put them in the freezer at least ten minutes before enjoying.

You can keep them in the freezer almost indefinitely, although each batch will last us about two weeks or so. This will make about sixty bites.

You probably have everything you need for these in your pantry, except the flaxseed. That’s something that not everyone has on hand at all times, but you should because there are so many benefits to flaxseed.

And that ingredient a big part of why I am considering these energy bites and not just almost-cookie balls. Because they do taste like unbaked cookies. But flax and walnuts. Make sure you keep those in there.
