Pro­tein balls are the per­fect on-the-go, yum­my snack. Ba­nana and choco­late chips make them taste ex­treme­ly in­dul­gent (it’s hard to think they’re good for you!) with­out ac­tu­al­ly be­ing in­dul­gent on your body. They are per­fect as a pick-me up snack for those lethar­gic af­ter­noons at work.

Make these pro­tein balls ahead of time, re­frig­er­ate and then pack as a be­fore-work out en­er­gy bite or quick break­fast in the morn­ing. You can al­so get cre­ative with the out­er coat­ing—add co­conut flakes or crushed nuts and seeds to give them an ex­tra crunch.

If you can't find choco­late pro­tein pow­der or, you sim­ply don't have it on hand, sub­sti­tute co­coa pow­der and ground chia seeds!
