These little brownie energy bites are packed with rich ingredients, delivering a delicious brownie-like flavor in every bite!
Well, friends, we're at it again. Making little balls of deliciousness.
Except for this time, we're not going in the cookie-flavored direction. Nope, today we're talking chocolate brownie energy bites. They're rich, fudgy, nutty, chocolatey and sweet. Basically, everything that I adore about a good brownie.
Here's a little run down on each powder that I used to make these delicious treats:
1. Maca
Maca is a plant found in the high altitudes of Peru and Bolivia, used by indigenous Andean societies. This powder is made from the root of the plant.
2. Spirulina
Ā Spirulina is a blue-green algae that's found in pristine freshwater lakes, ponds, and rivers.
3. Raw Cacao
Raw cacao powder – yes, the stuff we use to make chocolate.
