Tips for Success

  • Adjust the Mint Flavor: If you love a stronger minty kick, add an extra ¼ teaspoon of peppermint extract.
  • Make Them Vegan: Use a plant-based protein powder and dairy-free chocolate chips.
  • Add Crunch: Toss in a tablespoon of chia seeds or chopped nuts for extra texture.
  • Double the Batch: These energy balls freeze beautifully, so make a big batch to always have a healthy snack on hand.
