Ingredient Fruit Berry Cranberry Cranberry-Pistachio Energy Balls 5.0 (2) 2 Reviews These energy balls marry cranberries and pistachios for a festive pick-me-up to fuel a workout or enjoy as an afternoon snack. Tahini has a mild taste that doesn’t overpower the other flavors, but any nut butter, from almond butter to cashew butter, can be used in its place.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
