The world in her hands 🌏 Blue Algae Energy Bites by @a.u.naturelle with our No-bake Energy Bite Mix 😋🌱💖 Perfect recipe for weekend warriors and lunar eclipses 😉. #proteinbarmix #proteinballs #energybitemix #energybites #spirulina #keto ・・・ Spirulina isn’t just for smug health martyrs who love tasting mucky ocean 🌊 😝 It’s actually delicious in my paleo energy bites. And by “my” I mean the ones I make from the mix by @foodcreationnation, adding in almond + sunflower seed butter + a big spoonful of my favorite blue-green algae by @_healthforcesuperfoods. Spirulina’s intense earthiness gets balanced perfectly with the monkfruit-sweetened cacao to make our absolute favorite dessert or post-workout pick me up. #AUnaturelle

Keto COCO-NUT PEANUT BUTTER PROTEIN BALLS. When you've got those Sunday Funday cravings these satisfy and fill you with just the right nutrition and yumminess! No-bake, minutes to make ✌️and now Vegan and Keto Certified too! Healthlicious repost @collegenutritionist ・・・ Protein energy balls for the WIN 🙌🏼 Guys seriously I only like to make easyyy things and was skeptical these would be too much effort - but they were SO simple! I just combined the protein mix (I used the paleo coconut chocolate one here 👆🏼) @foodcreationnation with 1/4 cup peanut butter and 1/4 cup sugar-free maple syrup. Mold into small balls and keep in the fridge for 20 minutes. Mixing the ingredients was verrrry easy. It was a-ok I don't have too much upper arm strength ☺️💪🏼 I've been eating them ALL week! Definitely recommend!! #proteinbarmix #nobake #proteinballs #energybites #chocolate #ketorecipes

6. Keto Coffee Cashew Balls 

View this post on Instagram

Monday morning cure... Fresh KETO COFFEE BALLS! ☕️😋. Did you know that 3 of our no-bake mixes are now Certified Keto??...☝️Cocoa for Coconuts (paleo & vegan). ✌️Peas Love & Cocoa (vegan). 🍡Whey Hip Chocolate Chip (paleo-friendly). Since YOU control the sugars, skip adding any syrups and just follow the "sweetless" recipe on our package (or sub the syrup for a sugar free one) if you're on the Keto train. Healthy fats, protein, superfoods, fiber and of course coffee, make these the perfect morning routine for any power breakfast! 🙌 #Inspo @diet.stuff ・・・ Having a little treat to go with your morning coffee is just the best. Unfortunately about 99.9% of coffee shops around the world and 99.9% of products out there are simply packed with sugar. This company @foodcreationnation came out with an awesome solution though, keto energy balls. They’re no-bake, and freakin’ delicious. I added @eliotsadultnutbutters espresso nut butter to mine and they couldn’t pair better with my morning spresso. Sweetened with monk fruit, only a handful of ingredients, all whole foods. #proteinbarmix #energybites #keto #ketorecipes #cleaneats #paleotreats #glutenfree
