Lemon Chia Seed Protein Balls

Energy balls are a fantastic way to get a quick hit of energy, whether it be to get through a meeting at work, keep you going in between classes, or to see you through that challenging 1 am – 2 am phase of a Netflix marathon when you’re just so close to the end of the series, but your energy levels are dropping. The pistachio and seeds add texture and depth to the recipe and the very subtle zest from the lemon bring it all together.

I added Pulsin’ Organic Sunflower Protein Powder to these energy balls to give them a good ol’ protein boost. The wonderful thing about this protein powder is that it is vegan, soy-free, non-GMO, gluten-free, AND has 45% protein – meaning a little goes a long way.
