I started making energy balls regularly to help save money. Making chocolate peanut butter energy balls take the place of having to buy expensive energy bars. I’d much rather spend about $8 on 6-8 servings of chocolate and peanut putter energy balls rather than $2-3 for just one bar. I also love that these can last outside the refrigerator for the entire day! All of our energy ball recipes are freezer-friendly too, so you can prep a few batches in one sitting and store them for later.

These chocolate peanut butter energy balls are the perfect snack to pack if you know you will have a long gap in between meals, because they balanced with protein, fiber and healthy fats to keep you fuller longer and prevent any 3 o’clock energy crashes. They get their chocolatey flavor from the cocoa powder, which is unsweetened and a source of fiber! Did you know tablespoon of cocoa powder contains 1.8g of fiber? This recipe contains over 5 grams by having 1/4 cup cocoa.
