Spiced Fig Energy Balls

These spiced fig energy balls taste like fig newtons! Except without all the sugar. My kids love to take these on camp outs or hikes, because they travel well, and are packed with nutrients.

• Vitamin B

and best of all, Figs are available all year long!

For these balls, we made sure to have a good food processor to blend it up well.  Once everything is blended, we rolled in wheat germ. But you can also roll in coconut, flax meal, cocoa powder, or anything else.
