Easy, Healthy Protein Balls

There are several protein bar/balls on the market. Some are good, meaning they are fairly healthy with wholesome ingredients and others are really bad with nothing but sugar and unhealthy fats in them.

Protein bars are super convenient, portable and easy to eat when in a hurry. There is definitely a time and place for a protein bar every once in awhile.

Unfortunately, I get horrible indigestion from everyone I try and I have tried with great expectations so many, without luck.

So, here is my recipe for homemade protein bars/balls, that don’t upset my stomach. This recipe is versatile, add in whatever you like, make it as health as you want, be creative. If you have leftover baking ingredients in your pantry this is a good way to use them up.

Its officially your day, chocoholics! Despite some people being sensitive or even allergic to chocolate, it is one of the most common food cravings. There is little scientific evidence to suggest that dark chocolate can back up any claim of improved health or disease prevention. But, it may have antidepressant properties due to a neurotransmitter and mood elevator.
