Chocolate Chip Protein Ball Snack Recipe

A protein-packed, low carb “snack” tops the list in my book. If I can find or create one… game over! It’s instantly a hit! Make it one that tastes just like a cookie and I’ve found myself at a loss for words (well, not entirely lol). With just a few ingredients and a couple of minutes of hands on prep, this is a snack you’ll enjoy again and again!

 
In general, one of my healthy habits is to eat meals and not snacks. Reason being… snacks tend to be carb heavy and low in protein (ex: granola bars, crackers, etc.). They satisfy that lingering hunger but don’t do much for my goals. On the contrary, a well balanced meal – even one that feels more like a snack – can hit all my macronutrient needs (ex: protein smoothie, greek yogurt + side of veggies + hummus).
Lately though, I’ve been such a snacker. Thanks a lot, pregnancy lol. I wanted to have recipes I could turn to that would fit that snack-ish look but still pack a punch in the nutrient department. These Chocolate Chip Protein Balls do just that! I see a lot of Prison Break with protein balls in my future haha.
