This weekend we are hosting my sister-in-law and her husband. I am so excited for the opportunity to spend time together! I don’t know about you but it seems like anytime we are vacationing or hosting the sudden neeeeed for dessert increases exponentially. 🤷🏻With our upcoming trip to Hawaii (less than 14 days 😳😬) it was important to me to find a sweet treat we could indulge in, that wouldn’t bust my whole diet. #winning 

Below you will find a very generic recipe to make you very own Protein Balls! They are so easy and versatile! Whether you are serving dessert to family or shopping the #nsale these bites are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth and give you the energy needed to make it through!

Protein Balls

The best part about these Protein Balls is that you can fill them with almost anything! This week I decided to make two different flavors, the first a tropical fruit mixture, the second classic chocolate almond. 

Protein Balls

In the Tropic Mix, I chopped up dried pineapple, cranberries and unsweetened coconut. For the classic, I used chopped almonds and mini chocolate chips! Both flavor profiles came out wonderful, such a wonderful sweet treat!Protein Balls

Taking this treat one step further, as to camouflage the dessert’s nutritional value 😉, I chose to add candy coating to the Protein Balls. This step is completely unnecessary, but effective!

Hope you enjoy this indulgence!
