Of all the healthy snack recipes I make, energy balls are the ones I come back to most. I reckon I could fill up a semi-truck with the snack/protein/energy balls I have made over the years.

Maybe its because they are so simple to make. Simply pulse in a food processor and roll – it doesn’t get much easier than that!

Or maybe its because they are so adaptable to just about every dietary and lifestyle consideration. Need yours to be raw, vegan, gluten free, keto, and/or naturally sweetened? Protein/snack balls have got you covered!

Or…maybe its because they both fuel your body with good-for-you ingredients and nutrients while satisfying even the most discerning sweet tooth.

No bake with the best texture! Packed with protein, low in sugar, chocolatey goodness, plus they are loaded with wholesome ingredients you won’t feel guilty about. That’s why I love snack balls for an amazing healthy snack or after dinner sweet treat.

Confession: I’ve made three batches of these in the past three days. And they are all gone. They are truly that good. In our house, we almost always have protein balls on hand for snacks on the go, so I like to have different flavor options at all times. It can be difficult to get the optimum macros (protein, healthy fats and healthy carbs) in when you are busy.

The idea is always improve the macro balance (protein, carbohydrate, healthy fats) in what you eat. This is not about calorie counting: It’s about paying attention to key nutrients and taking in the daily recommended portion your body needs to maintain your energy levels and overall wellbeing.

Making these bad boys is an easy homemade way to get an extra boost of protein while knowing what’s inside your bar (or ball!). Plus the d-i-y approach means you save dollars as they are expensive in the stores.

If you are looking and craving a sweet treat that won’t derail your healthy lifestyle? These delightful Chocolate Protein Bites that taste like brownies are the answer!

These bites are not only delicious but also packed with protein to keep you feeling full and energized. Perfect for a post-workout snack, a midday pick-me-up, or a guilt-free dessert, these little powerhouses will become your new go-to treat.
