Nutrient-Packed Energy Bliss Balls

Walnuts are rich in essential amino acids and fats, and they are also abundant in vitamin E, making them beneficial for our skin. Moreover, walnuts serve as antioxidants and contain significant amounts of magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, and copper. These healthy energy balls are perfect for keeping track of the changing seasons in the kitchen. We can always prepare them with fresh, vitamin-rich, high-nutrient, and cost-effective fruits and vegetables that are locally available during each season. To embrace seasonality, enhance the ingredients with cherries during the summer and swap carrots for 3-4 apricots.
