I love easy and yummy snacks, and these are definitely that. You can switch up the add ins and make slight modifications to switch it up completely! Above, I used chia seeds, and below, I used flax seeds. What I especially love is that start to finish they only take 15 minutes to make, and you’ve got some great snacks to go!
What I like about these No-Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Balls (or Bars) is that you can keep them individually wrapped in the freezer for quick access, or simply roll them into balls and kept in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer!
Here they are formed into bars. Enjoy them however you wish. I love that they’re so quick and easy to make. I always have these ingredients on hand.
