BALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLS.

I don’t want this week to end. EVER. I almost told myself I was sick of making balls, but then I realized I wasn’t and just needed a 5 minute break from the food processor.

Over the past few weeks I’ve been attempting to limit myself to 2 balls a day, but sometimes that’s been a HUGE fail. AKA I don’t want to make dinner, so I shall just eat balls.

This ball recipe is made from an almond/oatmeal base. There’s no dates involved, but lots of chocolate and protein!

I used Daily Burn’s Fuel-6 Plant Based Chocolate Protein Powder for this. Since this is a no-bake recipe, I’m going to say that any kind of protein powder will work, but don’t quote me! Each protein powder is different, meaning that the absorption rate is different. You may need to add more oat flour or more almond butter depending on the kind of protein powder you use! Also, each protein powder has a different amount of added sweetener, so just be mindful of that, as well.

Davida’s final ball recipe might just be my favorite —> Strawberry Cheese Cake Swirl Energy Balls. You know how I feel about any recipe that involves a swirl. #winning
