I love a good snack. Recently while trying to find another recipe I stumbled upon this recipe for protein balls.
Since my allergy testing, I’ve gotten a lot more serious about removing gluten from my diet. It still makes an appearance every now and then, but I know which gluten sources I can eat (like cookies but in moderation), and can’t (bread, a good quality sourdough is an exception).
Snack options have become limited. Which is why I love these balls to snack on. They are quick, pack a punch and I can take them anywhere.
