These Gluten-Free Vegan Dried Blueberry Protein Energy Balls are a quick and easy snack that needs only 5 clean ingredients to make.
They are great to make ahead and keep in the refrigerator for a quick morning or afternoon snack. They're chewy and slightly crunchy at the same time with just the right amount of sweetness and a hint of blueberry flavor.
You can make these in less than 5 minutes, they're naturally sweetened with medjool dates, and they only need a few clean ingredients which you probably already have on hand (except maybe the dried blueberries).
All you have to do is put everything in a food processor and pulse about 10 times and they're ready to go!
I used Yuve' Vanilla Protein Powder to make these, but you can use your favorite vanilla raw, vegan, lectin-free, paleo, etc. protein powder.
This healthy recipe is raw, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, flourless, no-bake, paleo-friendly and contains no refined sugar.
