Superfood Protein Balls

Only 7 ingredients & No Bake!

Simply the best nutritious snack for anyone! These are made of 7 ingredients that you can easily find in your pantry and packed with protein and fiber, giving you energy to crush your day. Plus, they’re no bake and all you have to do is mix the ingredients and freeze. So, anytime you need a great pre-workout snack, a little post workout protein or even a sweat treat, these are a great option!

I’m a big snacker and it is so hard to find snack options that have simple ingredients. This is why I love these energy balls. They are made up of nutrient dense ingredients, so I know exactly what I’m putting into my body. The flavors and ingredients are versatile and can be altered to your liking. Maybe you want more nuts or spices! You can adjust the recipe to whatever you’re feeling!

Superfood Protein Balls are my favorite recipe because it is packed with protein, fiber, and carbs, all good post work-out fuel. I love dark chocolate, so of course I had to add dark chocolate chips, but that is completely up to you!

My favorite protein powder is Orgain’s Protein Powder! It has 21 grams of protein in a serving, plus, there is so many flavors it’s so hard to choose. However, my go to is vanilla because it pairs well with everything!
