Date-and-almond balls: a healthy snack with burst of energy

What many of the athletes have in common is a favorite healthy snack that gives them an intense burst of energy.

Whether you're working out or just running around with the kids, everyone needs a healthy energy pick-me-up, and too often, we resort to processed foods or chocolate.

Once kneaded, pinch off a piece the size of a marshmallow and roll into a ball between your palms and then roll around in the ground almonds to coat.
