Let me present you with my newest creation. Delicious snack balls with a slightly salty, creamy, peanut butter heart made with wholesome ingredients. These are not to be missed.

Could there ever enough Nut Butter Protein Snack Balls to go around? I don’t think so. Chocolate and peanut butter is a combination that’s hard to beat, don’t you think? These easy treats are perfect for parties or as a surprise for any chocolate and peanut butter lover. Watch them disappear!

Chocolate and peanut butter are an all-time favorite combo for many of us, plus, these beauties couldn’t be easier to make. These snack balls are packed with healthy fats and fibre, and, to make it even better, they only require 5 simple ingredients. Perfect for road trips, parties or as a pre-workout snack.

You are going to love this no-bake recipe, but I warn you…they are dangerously amazeBALLS! This recipe should be at the top of your dessert list. These creamy bite-sized treats are perfectly portioned and great for sharing. They make for easy grab-and-go snacks, an excellent treat to gift to friends, or serve as desserts.

Energy/protein bites are one of my FAVORITE things to meal prep for a healthy snack. They are cheaper than buying store bars and better for you because you can control the ingredients. They are quick to make with only a short ingredient list, but they look and taste so decadent. Oh my! What a dreamy treat.

One little energy ball or bar makes me happy in an instant. They are soft and chewy and you are going to love this superfood candy. So, if you have been looking for a nutritious homemade protein/energy bite then this is the ultimate one!

Let me ask, have you jumped on the energy bite/protein ball craze yet? The ones made with dates/nuts/seeds/oats/other healthy goodness? I have been making these healthy treats for years and never get tired of them.

Moreish snack balls, protein balls, bliss balls, truffles, energy bites, call them what you like. They are a perfect little nutrient-dense bite for a satisfying and are seriously SO GOOD. They make the perfect gift for any of your health-conscious or chocolate-loving friends too.

There are so many reasons to love them! Whoever is responsible for the idea that we should mash a bunch of healthy ingredients into one little ball as a snack is an absolute genius in my book.

Little spheres of snacking.

Little orbs of awesome.

Servings 18

Ingredients

  • 1 cup peanut (or any other nut or seed) butter
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 scoops protein or collagen powder
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips - optional
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

  • Line a medium sized plate or tray with parchment paper and set aside.
    In a mixing bowl, combine all your ingredients, except for chocolate coating and mix until fully combined.
    If the batter is too thick and crumbly, add some liquid (water or milk) slowly 1 tablespoon at a time until a thick, formable batter remains.
    Using your hands, form into 18-20 small balls and place on the lined plate or tray. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes.
    While the balls are firming up, melt your chocolate chips.

Chocolate Coating

  • Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in small dish and microwave with 30 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.
    Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.
    Remove the balls from the freezer and using two forks, dip each ball in the melted chocolate until completely covered. Repeat until all the balls are covered in chocolate.
    Note: You can fully or half dip them depending on your preferences. You can also drizzle the chocolate over the top.
    Once all balls are dipped, option to garnish with flaky sea salt for a salty-sweet crunch or a sprinkle of more desiccated coconut (or both!)
    Set balls back in the freezer to chill for another 10 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely hardened.
    Store leftovers in an air tight container in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
