Mocha Protein Balls
Who knew? I am a protein ball fan. At least when they are this good! So delicious. I am feeling the energy all over the place! Watch out!
This is part of our Heal Your Pantry Challenge. No more buying 'healthy' snacks with the view to believing you can eat more of them because they are healthy. (They probably have a few healthy ingredients and a lot more numbers than you realise!)
I have to say I am not a protein powder fan at all. The mere process of creating the powder is in and of itself a concern to me. But I do love the Happy Way brand which is what we recommend here. It has no aftertaste. In fact they are all delicious! We have plans for these protein balls...watch this space. Whilst they are delicious as a snack, they are also useful in other ways! You are going to love it!
