Buzz Ballz - Energy Balls with a Boost!

I've seen plenty of recipes for energy balls or bites but I've never made any...

Buzz Ballz!
Until now.

I don't know what compelled me to finally join the energy ball party, but it seemed like fun!

These balls have chocolate, collagen, caffeine. Triple C threat.

These balls do NOT have gluten, dairy, refined sugar, or nuts.

Get ballin' my friends! Substitutions will be noted below.

Just stir it together- so easy!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup quick oats
  • 1/4 cup chocolate tahini spread*
  • 1 packet vimco wellness collagen coffee packet*
  • 2 tbsp cacao honey

Directions:

  1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl. 
  2. Mix until thoroughly combined. 
  3. Form into balls, place on parchment/wax paper and refrigerate until you're ready to enjoy!
*Substitutions:

For the chocolate tahini spread, you may substitute any chocolate spread/nut/seed butter. 

For the collagen coffee packet, you may substitute 1 tbsp collagen and approx. 1 tsp ground coffee if you want the coffee kick. You may also simply omit. 

I had these before a run and I was on fire! They were delicious, too!



Have you made energy balls before? What flavor should I make next?

Gut Healthy Gummy Bears! Keto Friendly

Image
Team Sour or Team Sweet? I'm team sour all the way! These gummies are surprisingly easy to make if you have a gummy bear mold (they're very inexpensive on amazon!) and they have the gut-health benefits of prebiotic fiber and gelatin! First they're sour, then they're sweet. Ingredients: 40g VitaFiber IMO syrup  1 tbsp gelatin liquid stevia to taste (I used orange stevia) 1/2 cup water Directions: Heat the mixture on the stove until bubbling.  Use the dropper to fill the gummy bear molds.  Place in fridge until set.  Just before eating, toss the gummy bears in a mixture of citric acid powder, and granulated sweetener of choice (I used a monk fruit/erythritol blend).  Voila! Sour gummies!

Keto Meringues! Sugar Free!

Image
I recently had the idea to make Meringue cookies and my curiosity was piqued at the idea of making sugar free meringue cookies. I wondered if it would work!  3 calories a piece?! I'll take 10!  I took to Google, and to my surprise there were recipes with Splenda, erythritol, stevia and beyond! I decided to try my hand at sugar free meringues with an erythritol based sweetener I just purchased recently. The brand is Swerve and I purchased it from Luckyvitamin.com. It claims to have no aftertaste! Meringues can be a bit tricky to set up due to humidity and given that it was a hot August day in North Carolina, I think they turned out pretty well! The texture was good on most of them but a few of them were still a bit soft in the middle.  Factors working against me: I didn't have enough egg whites I didn't have cream of tartar I was attempting sugar free I didn't have parchment paper Humidity You may be thinking, why even bother? Well, I don
