Add A Little Christmas To Your Healthy Snack With These Snickerdoodle Protein Balls

I love the Christmas spirit and all, but it’s December 1, and I’m already burned out on the Christmas tunes that have been playing in every store since the day after Thanksgiving. I swear, if I hear José Feliciano’s ‘Feliz Navidad’ one more time, I’m gonna break something, lol!

One thing I will never not love about Christmas is all of the seasonal goodies. Take Snickerdoodle cookies, for instance. Aren’t they just the best? Serve them up warm with some cold milk… yum! (My mouth just watered as I typed that.)

And since it is Snickerdoodle season, I figured I’d try something different and make some Snickerdoodle energy bites. Bite-sized healthy goodness that tastes like my favorite Christmas cookie? YAAAASSSSSS!

Y’all, these Snickerdoodle Energy Balls are the bomb!

Or, as my doubles partner said, “Um, Julie… these taste like cinnamon sugar donut holes. Are you sure they’re healthy?”

YES! They are made with ten ingredients and are all-natural–plus, they’re loaded with protein and fiber to help maintain a healthy gut.

Once the Snickerdoodle Energy Balls are formed, I simply roll them in a cinnamon coconut sugar mixture and OMG… they are so addictive! I made two batches yesterday, and between me and my hubby, there are none left today. No joke! So, make at least a double batch. TRUST ME!
