Protein Energy Balls

It can be really hard to find a snack sometimes that has protein, is filling, and healthy for you! These are quick and easy to make, and you can use any flavour of protein powder you want in them!

Today I used a peanut butter chocolate protein powder, and it just made the flavour so much more peanut butter filled! You can never go wrong with too much peanut butter, at least not in my books.

These energy balls are the perfect grab and go snack!
