Chocolate Cherry Energy Bites

Hello Frugal friends!






I know I always say it.....I promise to blog more often! Haha We all know how time just seems to get away from us and before we know it, month's have gone by and we haven't posted anything. So....I'm trying to get back in the swing of things!




I have a super yummy, super quick recipe to share with you today.  I have been craving chocolate covered cherries like crazy (hello sugar!). SO, I decided to make a healthier version of that - and incorporate a bit of protein in the mix!




Chocolate Cherry Energy Bites




Ingredients:




✔️1/2 cup protein powder 
(I used Crave It 0 Sugar Chocolate Protein from my Shredz Month 1 kit or VIP Monthly Smoothz Membership)
✔️1/3 cup cocoa

✔️1/2 cup almond flour
✔️1/4 cup chia seeds
✔️1/3 cup dried cherries
✔️1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
✔️1/2 cup peanut butter 
✔️2 tbsp cocoa nibs
✔️1/2 tsp almond extract 
✔️1/3 cup honey



I also added 1 tbsp of my 0 Sugar Chocolate Sweet Spice from my Shredz Month 1 Kit :D




How to do it:


Mix up all the ingredients and roll into balls. Freeze until solid and then store in the fridge. If you find it's too dry, add a bit more peanut butter or honey. Too wet? Add a bit more almond flour!



Mine made 26 Bites 


    


Healthy, perfectly quick snack!  I eat 2 usually to curb my chocolate craving. :D

Enjoy!!
