From the Kitchen to the Gym Bag — These Beet Energy Balls Got You Covered
If you're anything like me — juggling work, motherhood, meal prep, and content creation before most people even hit snooze — then you know how clutch it is to have grab-and-go snacks that are actually good for you. These beet protein energy balls are a powerhouse little treat I came up with after one too many days of skipping meals and running on coffee.
They're naturally sweet, packed with plant-based protein, and have this earthy sweetness from beets that pairs surprisingly well with the warm kick of ginger. Add in creamy almond butter, dates, and chocolate protein powder? Game over. They taste like dessert, but they're legit fuel — perfect post-workout, mid-hustle, or when you’re hiding in the pantry for 5 minutes of peace (you know the vibe 😅).
I love rolling mine in shredded coconut, but you can totally switch it up with hemp seeds, chia seeds, or even crushed nuts. Bonus: they’re freezer-friendly and toddler-approved (especially if your little one is into “pink snacks”).
This recipe is also one of those perfect “make once, snack all week” kind of deals. And listen, even if you’re not a beet person, give these a try. The beet flavor is subtle, the texture is fudgy, and the nutrition? Chef’s kiss 💋
Let’s dive in — your fridge (and your body) will thank you.
