SUPER HERO POWER BALLS OR BARS
I have taken some of my favorite ingredients from my key sponsors and melded them together for a delish, power ball or bar - fondly dubbed my Ambassador Balls. It was a playful whim that had me obsessed with finding the right combos and I have done it. These are so good and my latest batch has a coating of maple flakes, cacao powder and ground espresso beans. OH YUM! Chocolate is a fave of mine so I use it often yet do know a vanilla version of my Ambassador Balls in on the way.
These are aimed for the fitness crowd looking for an energy bite that's easy to digest, low in sugar and made with low-allergen whole food protein and healthy fats. The cocoa powder delivers an energy boost making these best pre-workout or as your mid-morning or afternoon pick-me-up.
