I could eat 10 of these— they’re so good 🥹

But I usually eat about 3 after my work out and it feels like such a reward. && the pumpkin + almond butter completely mask the taste of the protein powder, which I love.

Each ball is about 7g protein, 3g fiber, 80 cal, 9 carbs

Here’s what you’ll need.

▫️3 cups Puffed Quinoa

▫️1 cup Creamy almond Butter, plus more as needed

▫️1 cup pumpkin puree

▫️1/3 cup Hemp Seeds

▫️½ heaping cup Protein Powder (75Grams)

▫️2 tsp Vanilla Extract

▫️1/3 cup Maple Syrup, plus more as desired

▫️2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

▫️1 tsp cinnamon

Chocolate Topping

▫️1 cup Dark Chocolate Chips (vegan)

▫️1 tablespoon Coconut Oil

Makes 18-20 energy balls

Mix the ingredients in a large bowl. Roll into equally sized balls. Place on a parchment lined tray in the freezer for 30 minutes. Melt the chocolate in 30 second intervals in the microwave. Dip the balls in the chocolate. Then transfer to the freezer for 10 mins to set. Enjoy! Store them in the fridge in an air tight container for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
