INGREDIENTS USED TO MAKE CHOCOLATE COVERED PROTEIN BITES
Flaxseed meal: Flaxseed Meal has a high amount of dietary fiber. It’s also a powerful natural cholesterol controller. I buy Bob’s Redmill Flaxseed meal. https://www.bobsredmill.com/flaxseed-meal.html
Chia seed: Chia seeds contain quercetin, an antioxidant that can reduce your risk of developing several health conditions, including heart disease. The seeds also high in fiber, which can help to lower high blood pressure and, in turn, reduce your risk of developing heart disease. Chia seeds are high in fiber.
Sesame seed: Sesame seeds are a good source of healthy fats, protein, B vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants may aid blood sugar control, combat arthritis pain, and lower cholesterol.
Peanut Butter: Peanut butter contains protein, good monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats and contains the powerful antioxidant vitamin E, bone-building magnesium, potassium and vitamin B6
Dark chocolate: Dark chocolate is rich in disease-fighting antioxidants.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why my protein balls aren’t forming into a ball?
If your protein balls are not sticking together you probably need to add a little bit more moisture. Add a teaspoon of water at a time until your protein balls stick together to form a ball!
Can I swap almond butter or any other nut butter?
For nut allergies: In place of the almond or peanut butter, try sunflower seed butter.
How long can I store my no-bake energy bites?
Store leftover energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
