These chocolate protein balls not only satisfy any chocolate craving, but the protein helps me stay fuller longer. Win win!

I don’t know about you, but every single night I get cravings for something salty, followed by something sweet.

That can easily add up calorie wise, so a protein ball is definitely a healthier way for me to keep my body fueled and my sweet tooth happy.

I love cashew butter in this recipe, but you could sub peanut butter or any other nut butter you want.
