about this Coconut Vanilla Almond Butter Protein Ball Recipe

I whipped up this healthy protein ball recipe out of an effort to get my littlest gal to have protein in her diet. That girl loves her carbs! But once she got ahold of these sweet, salty and buttery bites, she was hooked. I mean eating a couple in a sitting. She just couldn’t resist.

They are:

1. Two bites.
2. Sweet and salty.
3. Come together ridiculously fast.
4. No bake.
5. Crush that sweet tooth.
6. And made with real ingredients!

how to store healthy protein balls

These healthy protein balls store so well so they are always in my fridge for snacking. Simply store in a airtight container for 7-10 days. 

can you freeze protein balls

Yes! This is one of my meal prep secrets. I always make a double batch, then freeze the extras. Remove from the freezer, add to an airtight container and let thaw in the fridge.

what is Whole Earth Sweetener Honey 50?

For today’s snack, I used Whole Earth Sweetener Honey 50. It has 50% fewer calories than traditional honey per serving (as it calls to use half the amount for the same sweetness), is organic, and non-GMO project verified. Beyond using in healthy snacks, it adds that perfect finishing touch to your yogurt, tea and fruit!

With one bowl, 5 ingredients and only a few minutes of your time, you have a quick, two bite wholesome snack that is perfectly suitable to call dinner! Just don’t forget that glass of wine. We are self nurturing today, remember.
