Mountain of deliciousness. Clean eating does not have to be boring or without chocolate!
These are totally dairy and gluten free. They are a twist on my classic energy balls/bites that I make. I also rolled these in organic unsweetened cocoa powder which added a complimentary bitter to sweet balance. Protein packed these are great for a post-workout snack or just a treat when you’re craving something chocolate. No guilt here! I store these in the fridge and love them cold. I make them bite-sized so you can pop them and go! Portable perfection.
