These clean eating energy ball snowmen are a fabulously healthy treat for yourself or your party guests! (Plus, the kids love making these!)

These are such a fun and healthy holiday snack! Barring any allergies, these are a great snack for kids of all ages. They’ll keep you full and give you a little kick of energy mid-day when you need it most!

They are simple to make too. Just a quick blend in a food processor and a roll in some coconut flakes, and you’ve got yourself some adorable little snowmen! These would be a fun holiday snack to take to the office as well!

If you’ve never had energy balls, they are just a soft “dough” like blend of nuts, dates and other fruits. You can make them with almost any combination and they will taste great. They are truly a travel friendly snack and are calorie dense for those times you really need to just keep yourself going.

But when you put them together like a snowman, they make the cutest little goodies for a holiday gathering. Who wouldn’t want to pick up one of these cuties off the appetizer tray? Serve with a little warm, clean eating cocoa or even clean eating egg nog, and you’ve got a wonderful holiday treat people will remember!

Pssst…. you don’t have to tell anyone they are healthy!
