Midnight Balls

Midnight Energy Balls are a healthy and delicious snack for anytime of day. Made with nut butter, coconut flakes and cacao powder for a chocolatey taste. Enjoy it for breakfast, or a post/pre workout snack. 

These little midnight balls finally made a spot on the blog. They first appeared on IG and so many of you asked for the full recipe, so here you have it - chocolatey energy balls, low in sugar and high in healthy fats. Kind of the dream snack and a serious contender for 'best dessert' when you're craving something a little sweet, but don't want to over due it. These guys are definitely what I turn to for a a touch of sweetness to end the night. 

Enjoy friends!
