These little protein balls are my go-to snack when I hit that wall right around 3 pm. They are the perfect little pick-me-up to help me power through my day!
I love making a big batch of these at the beginning of the week and then snacking on them all week long. I usually just keep them in a large gallon-sized resealable bag in the fridge and grab them as needed.
My kids love these little bites as well and will eat them all if I don’t hide them! They think that they taste like cookie dough (which they really do!) and love them as much as I do.
