Healthy Hen Party Snack
Healthy Hen Party Snack
Looking for a Healthy Hen Party Snack to take on the road trip? We found this amazing energy balls recipe from Roz Purcell – Natural Born Feeder. It’s a good one!
We know that the hen party is all about indulgence. Lots of food and lots of drink to be consumed ladies! However, you may need a healthy snack or two to keep you going. Maybe the bride-to-be is very health conscious, maybe you want to save the indulgence until dinner (and the chipper at 3am) or maybe you are just looking for a snack to nibble on in the car. Well, we have found a delicious treat that is sure to tick all the boxes.
Even if you are not heading on a hen party soon these energy balls are a healthy treat to tuck into any day. This is also a great snack to keep on hand to prevent nibbling on bad foods like crisps and sweets. Now, we are all guilty of this! This is even more important on the lead up to events like weddings or holidays.

These fabulous energy balls are a great idea for meal preparation. They should last up to a week when kept refrigerated. We love to make these on a Sunday evening, keep them in a lunchbox in the fridge and bring some to work each day. Disclaimer: these taste amazing! So be warned, you may want to eat them all at once!
So if you are heading off in the car, train or a plane for the hen party, pop these energy balls in your bag. Hand them around when the girls start to feel peckish to keep them full and happy! This is also a great snack to keep the energy up the day after the party. All that dancing means a lot of sleepy hens!
