Notes

  • Chopped nuts or cacao nibs add extra crunch.
  • Cashew butter gives the energy balls a creamier texture.
  • Chocolate protein powder can be added for extra protein.
  • Use maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan version.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months.
