Protein Coffee Bites

These protein balls are ideal healthy snack that I eat on the road, hiking or use as a pre-workout. Not only they are super tasty, but they are loaded with healthy calories that will get you moving! They are made with all natural ingredients and added protein. If you’re not a coffee lover you could always skip the coffee ingredient or substitute with e.g. chocolate chips.
