Chocolate Chip Protein Balls

These chocolate chip balls are made with added protein making them the perfect snack for on the go. They are naturally sweetened with dates giving them a subtle sweetness. The added maca powder gives them hormone balancing support.

Maca root is a part of the Brassicaceae family and is claimed to be adaptogenic, meaning it helps the body adapt to stress. Maca has a wonderful nutrient profile providing protein, fiber, vitamin C, copper, potassium, B vitamins, iron, iodine, and more. Maca has been used medicinally for its ability to help with energy, vitality, and sexual desire, but maca can also benefit reproductive hormones and reduce symptoms of menopause. It provides a nutty, malty taste. I like adding it to my smoothies or protein balls such as these.

Disclaimer: Discuss with your healthcare provider before taking maca as it may be contraindicated in certain people.
