PROTEIN ENERGY BALLS
I have a sweet tooth. A mighty one at that. I usually can keep it in check, but it tends to rear it's ugly head at night, right after I've had my dinner.. or in the afternoon.. around 3pm... or first thing when I wake up.. okay, okay.. fine! It's an all-day thing. The battle is real, ya'll.
Well, would you believe me that those delicious looking cookie dough and chocolate bites you see above are vegan, paleo and packed with protein and fiber?! Well, they are! And, the best part yet, they are so simple to make (no baking required!).
My favorite thing about these delicious balls of yum is that the flavor possibilities are endless! Lemon, Nut Butters, Pumpkin Spice, Coconut... and trust, there are plenty of recipes out there to give you inspiration! I made three different versions of these balls tonight and I found myself wondering if anyone else makes these as often as I do? What are your favorite flavors? I'd love to hear about them.
