Protein Balls are easy to make, gluten-free, and seriously delicious! Every energy bite is a nice pop of protein, an easy breakfast, as an in-between meals snack, or a post-workout snack, on the go, or easy little dessert after dinner.
You can make them in bulk ahead of time during your weekly meal prep. Better yet? Quadruple the batch and make enough to freeze for the month. As you need them, pull the energy bites out of the freezer, thaw to room temp, pop in the fridge and you’re ready to go!
