1. Cookies or energy balls

Easy and delicious snacks for school or the office are cookies and energy balls, which will satisfy your need for "snacking" between main meals and give you energy.

Ingredients for cookies

• 3 bananas (ripe)

• 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Add all the ingredients to a bowl and mix until you have a homogeneous mixture. Then, form small balls and place them on a baking tray, leaving space between them because they will spread.
