Pumpkin Protein Balls

Image
It's almost Friday!!! Are you looking for some extra energy to get you through this week? Try out these yummy gluten-free, non-bake Pumpkin Protein Balls! Although it still doesn't quite feel like Fall here, I am all about EVERYTHING pumpkin! I've been playing around with healthy pumpkin recipes and while a Pumpkin Chia Pudding landed in the garbage today (I hate wasting food, but this was not edible!!!), these energy snacks came out so delicious! And are super easy to make! The fun part is that you can customize them to your liking...I bet they are super tasty with added chocolate chips or chopped walnuts! I LOVE chocolate, but I'm trying to stay away from added sugars as much as I can. I prefer to drink my calories...if you know what I mean :) Fun fact: did you know that pumpkins are fruits and not vegetables?! And they are made up of 90% water, which makes them a great low calorie food. They are also high in vitamin A, fiber, and potassium!
