Chocho Protein Bites

These chocho energy balls make a perfect pre workout bite, mid day munch, or breakfast on the go. Infused with caffeine from cold brew and packed with protein from chocho, these balls are pure bliss. They are also easily customized. If you want energy balls with bonus healthy fats and fiber, roll the balls in coconut. For an extra dose of omegas go for the hemp seeds. If you want some extra caffeine and an antioxidant crunch, roll the balls in cacao nibs. Whatever toppings you go for, be sure to place these little guys in the fridge after preparation so that they become firm and truffle like.
