![]() ![]() RELATED: No-Bake Peanut Butter Protein Barsīut the reality is that when I’m being highly active (which is a lot of the time), my body is burning a lot of glucose and in order to restore it and avoid entering the HANGRY state, sometimes I need energy, fast. And moderation must be consumed in moderation too! I love sweets, but just like anything they must be consumed in moderation. For me, having one or two energy balls a day is not an excessive amount of sugar. Quality of sugar is important, as is the amount. I’m not a nutritionist, so I’m going to avoid getting too preachy, but a little bit of sugar is not going to kill you. Just like how I won’t even come close to any type of sugar alcohol or fake sugar. Am I gorging on refined table sugar? Absolutely not. I am someone who needs a good amount of carbs, and yes sometimes that’s in the form of sugar. I can totally and completely appreciate this but for me that is a key component of their success. One of the main complaints I get from people (besides that they don’t have a food processor…get one) is that the sugar content of energy balls is too high. Between hiking mountains in Yosemite and surfing in San Diego, energy ball week could not have fallen at a better time. This meant that before and between trips I was whipping up balls like crazy and snacking on them throughout our trips. Just by chance, energy ball week happened to fall at the same time as my crazy travel schedule began. Watch Sahar and I make these delicious Crunchy Peanut Butter Energy Balls over on YouTube!
