Peanut Butter Protein Energy Ball Recipe In 5 Minutes
These are the best guilt free...ish snack for those who need a little energy lift, something small before a workout or those who are trying to curb dessert! These are perfect for pre-workout as an energy bite to fill you up a little before you go workout or on a run. These can work in place of a protein bar as well and I love to have them if I need just a touch more of a full stomach before heading out the door. They are great any time of day whether it is an at-work snack, pre-workout filler or dessert!They provide all the taste of dessert but with some healthy benefits to make us feel better about ourselves. What's great is they are bite size balls so you can satisfy the sweet craving without needing to eat a ton. The best part about these is that there are so few ingredients and they take minutes to make! So easy and you can have them prepped for 1-2 weeks as they last forever. They taste great in the fridge and sometimes even better frozen if you put them in the freezer.
