Ali’s Go-To Chocolate Protein Balls
Quick, plant-based, and perfectly poppable
Most energy balls are packed with nut butters, making them higher in fat than protein. But not these! This simple, satisfying recipe uses PBfit to keep the flavor you love while lowering the fat and boosting the protein.
Each ball is approximately:
60 calories | 4g protein | 1g fat | 9g carbs
Perfect for an afternoon snack, post-workout bite, or sweet treat without the crash.
