Whether ski touring, freeriding, ski boot hiking or climbing - it's cold in winter and therefore outdoor activities in the fresh air cost us more energy. There isn't always a hut nearby to stop off at, so the only thing that helps is to have a small energy supply in your pocket. Energy balls are easy to put in your lunch box, are handy to have in your mouth in one bite, taste good and are also made from healthy ingredients. They are therefore ideal for snacking between meals during any outdoor activity.
We show you two recipes for delicious energy balls that are easy to make:
