I know the name is a mouthful but these Chocolate Maca Chip Energizing Protein Balls are packed with goodness and a mouthful of flavor! They are packed with protein, maca, fiber, omega-3, and 2 servings of veggies if you use Vega Energizing Smoothie. Oh and did I mention chocolate?! Need an afternoon pick me up snack, pre workout snack, or maybe a quick on the go breakfast these are for you. After you try them I am sure you will find reasons to make them again, and again.
Chocolate Maca Chip Energizing Protein Balls
Makes 12-14 depending on size
1/2c Almond Butter
3/4c organic rolled oats
1 scoop Vega Choc-a-lot Energizing Smoothie powder, or sub chocolate protein powder
1 TBSP raw agave
1/4-1/3 Vega Maca Chocolate Bar, chopped
In a bowl mix almond butter, agave, and Vega Energizing Smoothie powder (or protein powder). Stir in oats and chopped Vega Chocolate Maca Bar. Taking spoonfuls roll into balls, I got 14 but it will depend on the size you are making them. I store them in the fridge, if they make it that far. I prefer the texture of them after they get close to room temp as they don’t crumble and melt in your mouth (they are the consistency of cookie dough and will harden when cold). You can probably freeze them as well and remove them ahead of time to thaw a bit before eating. Enjoy!
