    Paleo Chocolate Energy Balls

    September 18, 2019 by Sami Smith Leave a Comment

    Need a quick and easy snack to meal prep for your busy week ahead? I've got you covered! These paleo chocolate energy balls are the perfect snack to give you some protein and satisfy that sweet tooth. There's no fuss involved when making these, just add all of the ingredients into a food processor and there you go. I love to make a big batch of these at the beginning of the week to have on hand throughout the week. They are perfect for my busy college schedule, and they keep my stomach happy with all of the gut-friendly ingredients!

    To add the perfect sweetness to these energy bites, I added 2 packets of the SweetLeaf Stevia packets. I love this brand because I know that they use quality ingredients, as they're certified by the Paleo Foundation! I am a big advocate for natural sweeteners as I believe that artificial sweeteners tend to do more harm than good for our health and our bodies. This stevia is certified organic, straight from the Stevia leaf, and has no additives of any sort, which is something I value highly. I like to add their stevia products to many of my recipes! The perfect pure sweetness without any of the negative effects of artificial sweeteners. The stevia packets are perfect for adding to your baking or to energy bites such as these!

    Energy bites and bliss balls are some of my favorite snacks because 1. they are so quick and easy to make and 2. they are small and a perfect snack for a busy day. I also love how versatile they can be. You can add your own twist to these by using a different nut or nut butter, adding chocolate chips or different seeds, or adding a different flavor to them! There are so many ways to switch these up from week to week. I hope you enjoy!
