Looking for a healthy snack that is sweet and healthy? Look no further. I am here to share my sweet Protein Energy Balls. 

Who doesn’t love the combo of peanut butter and chocolate? These remind me of cookie dough, but with the added punch of protein to keep your energy up, blood sugar stable, and your hunger at bay!
