I'm always on the lookout for good snacks and sources of energy that I can pair with a protein shake and walk out the door with.
With how busy my lifestyle is, it's nice to have some quick and convenient options. I'm sure you can relate to being busy ... we all are! However, that's certainly no excuse to not meet your nutrition goals and earn the results you're after.
That's why I wanted to share this chocolate energy ball recipe! They are a little low on the protein side of things, which is why I recommend tagging it with a high-quality protein source.
But, if you do that, these chocolate energy balls can be a great way to get in some tasty calories without all the hassle!
