The healthy and delicious combination of pistachios and cranberries make these energy balls an excellent choice for an afternoon pick-me-up snack, pre or post-workout snack or just a reason to take a moment and enjoy some guilt-free homemade deliciousness. The fact that they are easy to put together is just a bonus. In my family they disappear so fast, which is why I always make a huge batch and freeze half of them to keep them both out of sight for the day and available for up to three months.
