Black Bean Chocolate Energy Ball
Your snack game will never be the same once you’ve really gotten into no-bake freezer-friendly energy balls. At least, this is what it was for me.
When it comes to packing lunch boxes for the office or kindy, all I need sometimes is a ready-made solution that is
- a finger food-friendly/ BWL-friendly food for the baby
- travels great without getting mushy
- easy to make when we run out of the freezer provision
- tastes great!
This Black Bean Choc Bliss Ball recipe requires very little equipment:
- Measuring cups such as Klee Utensils 10-Piece Colorful Stainless Steel Measuring Cups (affiliate link)
- Food processor such as KitchenAid KFP0718CU 7-Cup Food Processor (affiliate link)
- Ice cream spoon such as Ice Cream Scoops
- My favorite food container Prep Naturals Glass Meal Prep Containers (affiliate link) or
- Freezer-friendly bags such as Glad Food Storage and Freezer 2 in 1 Zipper Bags (affiliate link)
