Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise

"These are delicious and just enough to give you a little energy and satisfy a sweet tooth," says K Jalajas. "I added ¼ cup of vanilla protein powder to the mix. I refrigerated the mix for about 20 minutes, which made it much easier to roll into balls."

"Very good," according to Susan DeRuyter. "I didn't have any flax seed so I used ¼ cup chia seeds and ¼ cup hemp hearts as a substitute. I also added some unsweetened cocoa powder, just because. I'll definitely make these again!"

"Versatile, healthy, and delicious," raves one Allrecipes community member. "I've been making these little snack balls for years, after a nutritionist gave me the recipe. You can substitute any of the ingredients and make your own flavors."
