Chocolate Chia Peanut Butter Balls
Chocolate Chia Peanut Butter bites
Want a quick snack, full of protein and fiber? Need something quick to grab in the middle of the night when you're feeding your baby? Have a craving for something sweet? Want a post-workout snack?
Chia seeds are a great addition here. I usually add them to anything I'm baking. So many benefits - high in Omega 3, fiber, protein, calcium, iron and antioxidants to name a few.
And these little bites are awesome!!
