Protein Chocolate Ginger Crunch Balls

Sonja Goeden

A slightly more grown up version of energy balls, these Chocolate Ginger Crunch Protein Balls are just utterly addictive, yet super healthy. Made mainly out of dates, hazelnuts, protein powder and ginger, they pack a serious punch both in terms of nutrition and flavor with the heat of the ginger coming through in every bite. On top of that they give you a serious crunch factor from the coating of cacao nibs. What more could you want in a snack?
