Notes

Recipe tips.

While these balls are packed full of healthy ingredients and can give you a boost of energy, you still want to consume them in moderation.
Instead of mini chocolate chips, try chopped pecans or walnuts, dried blueberries, cranberries, butterscotch chips, or mini M&M's.
Instead of peanut butter, you can use other nut butters like almond butter or sunflower butter.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1–2 days, in the refrigerator for 1–2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Allow frozen bites to thaw before eating.
