Tahini Chocolate Energy Balls
Sep 19, 2024Happy Friday!
I've been getting asked a lot lately for healthy treat alternatives to satisfy that sweet tooth or chocolate craving. These tahini chocolate energy balls really do the trick as they have that rich chocolate flavour, healthy fats, and added protein as well for a well-balanced treat.
Enjoy!
