No-Bake Energy Balls

Hazelnuts and creamy coffee flavor make these energy balls taste like a rich coffeehouse dessert.
Healthy fat from hazelnuts and nut butter, fiber from rolled oats, and protein from Cafe Latte Shakeology will quell your hunger pangs without weighing you down.
Experiment with any all-natural nut butter, like almond, cashew, or walnut butter in this recipe (of course, peanut butter tastes delicious too!).
Store leftover protein balls in an air-tight container in the refrigerator or freezer.

7. Eggnog Protein Balls
Who says you can’t enjoy eggnog year-round? (Not us.)
Even if you’re not a fan of the drink, the aroma alone of the warming spices in it — cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg — is enough to make you want to wrap yourself in a warm blanket and nosh on these delicious bites.
All you need is oat flour, Vanilla Shakeology, spices, almond milk, and pure maple syrup for a touch of sweetness.
8. No-Bake Cinnamon Sugar Donut Holes
We blended Vanilla Shakeology with almonds, coconut, dates, honey, and spices to get a flavor and texture that is authentically donut.
The mixture is a bit crumbly after a trip through the food processor, but when it’s squeezed into shape, it holds together nicely.
Once formed into balls, roll your No-Bake Cinnamon Sugar Donut Holes in a mixture of cinnamon, sugar, and coconut for the finishing touch.
They’re not too sweet and have just the right amount of spice.

All it takes is a little mixing, a little rolling, and a whole lot of enjoying.
10. Jack-O’-Lantern Protein Balls
These protein balls feature a delicious combination of peanut butter, pumpkin, cinnamon, and Vanilla Shakeology.
Each one is the perfect balance of these swoon-worthy flavors. You can swap out peanut butter for almond butter, cashew butter, or even sunflower seed butter.

13. Gingerbread Balls
These energy balls are perfect for a healthy holiday snack, but let’s be real: We’d eat these year-round. (And we will.)

Note: To save time, you can use pre-shredded carrots. Freshly grated carrots are wetter and could make the “dough” a little sticky; just use a paper towel to squeeze out the excess moisture before you add them to the food processor.
