Snacks are essential for long days snowboarding. If I don't take something with me, I get very cranky as soon as hunger starts to hit (just ask my boyfriend - if he notices I've forgotten to eat breakfast, he will get very uneasy)
5 Eco-Friendly Alternatives To Everyday Items
When I was working at Cooler Magazine, we made these super simple, no bake, energy balls - and they are delicious! I make a batch of them most weeks, so we can take them up the mountain with us.
They are perfect because they are small enough to fit in your pocket and it doesn't matter if you squish them. You can also take them with you when you go hiking, climbing or if you need a energy boost before you get in the surf.
INGREDIENTS
Makes approximately 10 to 12 balls
- 1 bowl of rolled oats
- 2/3 of bowl of desiccated coconut
- 1/2 a bowl of organic peanut butter
- 1/2 a bowl of dark chocolate chips
- 1/3 of a bowl of honey
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Make sure the texture is not too dry or runny, otherwise the balls won’t be able to stick.
Let the mixture cool in the fridge for half an hour. Roll the mixture into balls in the palm of your hand. Pop a couple in tin foil, shove in your backpack ready to enjoy later!
