Notes

  • Storage: Store monster cookie energy balls in a sealed container or storage bag in the fridge for up to 7 days. To freeze, place them on a cookie sheet and put them in the freezer for about 1 hour. Once the energy balls are firm, transfer them to a freezer storage bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Nut-free: Sunflower butter may be substituted for peanut butter. Other types of protein powder can be substituted for the PB protein powder.
  • Nutrition boosters: If you like, add a tablespoon or two of ground flaxseed, chia seed, or hemp seed (hearts).
