{Healthy Snack Ideas} Peanut-Butter Protein Balls

By Melody Schmoyer

Looking for some Healthy Snack Ideas? Peanut Butter Protein Balls are a quick & easy option that both moms & kids will love!

Here’s the problem: I started thinking recently about how UNHEALTHY store bought protein bars are, with all of the additives, sugars, and unhealthy fats.

Solution: As a result, I decided to create my own concoction at home to try out on my Bible-study ladies for “dessert” a couple weeks ago! Nervous that this healthy and satisfying option might not be as delicious as “normal” dessert, I gave it a try…and it was awesome! I hope you find this recipe as delicious as I did! 🙂
