We chose Gluten Free Chocolate Delight Granola from Back To Nature Foods for this recipe because it tastes AAA-MAZING!

However what I love most about Back to Nature Chocolate Delight Granola is what is NOT inside:

  • no gluten
  • no GMOs
  • and no high fructose corn syrup or hydrogenated oils

I love to make a batch of these chocolate peanut butter protein balls on Sunday night for the week ahead. That way in the morning when I’m packing lunches, all I have to do is grab a couple and toss them in the lunchbox!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Balls

Add 1 cup almonds to food processor and chop until coarsely ground. (You don’t want a fine powder, but rather, the consistency of cookie crumbs)

Pour Back to Nature Chocolate Delight Granola into a medium mixing bowl. Pour ground almonds into a second mixing bowl.

Drop one heaping spoonful of peanut butter (about 2 teaspoons) into the bowl of granola. Use a spoon to cover the peanut butter completely, so that granola sticks. Transfer the granola ball to your bowl of ground almonds.

Use a spoon to toss and cover the peanut butter granola balls with ground almonds. Return the ball to the bowl of granola. Finish by using hands to press more granola into the ball and form it into a firmer ball shape.

Place energy balls on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow to set in freezer for 15-20 minutes, or until firm.

Store granola bites in an airtight container in fridge until ready to enjoy.
