Peppermint Mocha
Energy Balls
Energy balls are my favorite quick snack to have on hand at all times. They are packed with protein and sustainable carbs that will actually satisfy a hunger and/or sweets craving (if you make with chocolate). These have peppermint extract in them for some holiday flare, but that can easily be removed and replaced with vanilla extract! Then you're left with chocolate energy balls. I like to meal prep these on a Sunday and keep them in the fridge for the week. Whether I need a quick breakfast before my coffee, chocolate bite after a meal, or just a snack in general- these are my go-to.

1/3 cup chocolate chops

1, Mix your nut butter and honey together into a large bowl.
