I created these snack balls as an alternative to all the others that were full of WAY too much sugar, honey or sweetener. Switching to a whole foods, low carb way of eating, I was determined to create a snack ball that I can enjoy, transport around and offer to my kids to keep us all fit n healthy!

After some time fiddling with ingredients to get it perfect – I made it.

Welcome to the fit n healthy version of snack balls called, Chewy Chocolate Balls!

Enjoy as a healthy treat, offer them at parties, or use as your snack on the way to the gym or yoga class to curb that hunger and get a solid workout in! Feel free to sse as your pre workout or post workout snack.

and cashew, hemp seed butter, or a combination)
