We thought this was a passing trend. Until we tasted them. These are our favorite Energy/Protein Balls.
I keep these in the freezer, my kids take them to go, and I’m thrilled they’re having something healthy and filling (they also think this is a treat). And I really enjoy them too.
Ok, let’s make these energy balls!
Blend
This mixture needs to chill for a bit before being rolled into balls.
Add almond flour, almond butter, coconut, vanilla, maple syrup, and salt.
Leave them plain or roll them in coconut (or flax, or chia seeds, or whichever coating you like). Keep them frozen until ready to grab!
