These energy balls are not just tasty; they're super good for you too, thanks to something called omega-3s. These are like special helpers for your body, especially your brain and heart.

The hemp hearts are full of these omega-3s. So when you snack on them, you're giving your body a big boost of goodness!

Omega-3s are important because our bodies can't make them on their own. That's why it's awesome when you can get them from a sweet treat!
