Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Balls

Chocolate peanut butter protein balls are a great lunch snack anytime of day.  A cross between cookie dough and a power bar--how can you go wrong?  We have been packing a few of these in our lunch bags all week for a perfect sweet treat in just the right size.

On a personal note, I have been furloughed as a federal employee for the past few weeks.  I am struggling a bit with what to do with my time.  I always think that if I didn't have to go to work---I would spend all of my time on my blog. 

Yet, here I am, not going to work and I still manage to fill my day with so many other things.  Today, and the rest of this week, I am going to be recipe testing (and possibly even video making).  I need to take advantage of this time!

My goal is to post at least once a day for the rest of this government shutdown.

Try them and let me know what you think!

How to make Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Balls?  

These are really easy to make.  Add all the ingredients to a food processor and pulse until well combined.  Using your hands or small cookie scoop, form into small balls and place on parchment paper.  Refrigerate for one hour before enjoying.
