   Scoop small portions and roll into bite-sized balls.

5. Chill (Optional)
   Place on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up — or enjoy immediately.

Why These Protein Balls Actually Taste Good

Some energy bites lean dry or chalky. These stay soft and chewy thanks to:

• Creamy peanut butter for richness

• Smooth almond + chickpea protein for balanced flavor

The vanilla notes blend seamlessly into the peanut butter base, creating a naturally sweet, satisfying bite.

They’re portion-controlled, made with real ingredients, and designed to keep energy steady — not spike and crash.
