Easy, No-Bake Perfect Protein Energy Balls
by Colleen Russell
Ensuring that a child with food allergies gets an adequate amount of protein can have its challenges. Since the Nourishing World Protein Powder line began expanding, I have been experimenting with recipes that can be easily protein-fortified with a few scoops of plant-based protein powder. This gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free energy ball recipe is the easiest thing to come out of my kitchen in years, and the kids devour them. The no-bake energy balls are jam-packed with protein from all-natural, food-based sources with zero artificial ingredients. Whip up a batch for the beach, a road trip, or a picnic at the park and rest assured that you will have energy for all of summer’s adventures.
