Pumpkin Spice Energy Balls

I love making my Shakeology bites so much that I knew I had to make these when I finally received my Pumpkin Spice supply.  I love that these are another way to get all the healthy ingredeints included in  Shakeology that I don't have to "drink" in shake form. Plus...it keeps my family happy—and healthy!

After reading the original post on the Shakeology page from celebrity trainer Autumn Calabrese, she used Vanilla Shakeology to make some delicious looking Cookie Dough Bites - you'll see how I got my inspiration for these heavenly Pumpkin Spice bites that I made today. 

Let’s be honest, when all of us make chocolate chip cookie dough...we use raw eggs...and we all lick the spoon or eat some plain, right?  Of course we know THAT isn’t the healthiest choice considering the raw egg — so THIS is an alternative...and it's packed with the good stuff all at the same time. #winning

Fortunately, with this recipe, you'll get the taste of cookie dough but without the danger of a tummy ache…unless, of course you get caught eating one too many! And...you'll enjoy the PUMPKIN SPICE since it is that time of year!

The best part about this recipe is that all of the ingredients are things that I typically eat and I had most of them in my pantry already. These vitamin-packed cookie dough bites have me trying to decide whether or not I like the Pumpkin Spice Shakeology balls or the original Vanilla bites better. 

So...let's get to it...how do you make these AWESOME things?

• ​3 packets/scoops of Pumpkin Spice Shakeology
• 1/2 cup of All Natural Peanut Butter (or any nut butter)
• 1/2 cup of honey
• 1/2 cup of granola
• 1/2 cup of chocolate morsels of coacoa nibs (I forgot to add my morsels in the pic).

1. Mix all of the ingredients into a bowl. 
2. Stir together and put in the fridge - just makes your "ball-rolling" a bit less messy.
3. Roll dough into balls about the size of when you touch your index finger to your thumb. 
4. Store "energy bites" in the refrigerator in ziploc baggies or your favorite food storage container. 

​My favorite thing about these is that when the girls, Tony or myself are going to reach for a sweet treat, I know we’re grabbing something that’s made with healthier ingredients!

Are you ready to make your own? When you do, snap a pic of them and share about is using the hashtag #karensenergybites. I can't wait to see what other creations you come up with.
