Chocolate Shakeology Cake Balls




Why do I love Shakeology so much ??  Its has had so many benefits!! 
It has helped me lower my cholesterol, it keeps me on track with my goals, it tastes delicious, its loaded with SuperFoods and is my most nutritious meal of my day ! 

I absolutely LOVE Chocolate - not only does it help with my cravings, it allows me to fit chocolate into my meal plan every day of the week ! 

As you can see by the picture above -- its more than just a meal replacement shake ! 
I bake with it as well !! 

I am always looking for new Healthy Treats. Sweets are really a non negotiable for me so I need to have something that I can snack on that fits within my goals and keep me on track. 


Ingredients:
  • 1 scoop Chocolate Shakeology
  • 1/2 scoop Beachbody Performance Recovery (or chocolate protein powder)
  • 1/4 cup Almond Flour
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Flour
  • 3 TBSP Honey 
  • 3 TBSP Almond Milk
  • 1 TBSP Coconut Oil
  • 1 TSP Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 cup Soy free, gluten free, dairy free chocolate chunks (found in organic section in grocery store-- I use ENJOY LIFE brand)

Directions:
  1. Mix first 8 ingredients together in bowl
  2. Heat last ingredient (chocolate chunks) in pot on stove until melted (or in microwave- approx 2 min)
  3. After first 8 ingredients are mixed, make balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place on cookie sheet on parchment paper
  4. Put balls in fridge for 15 minutes
  5. After chocolate is melted, take balls out of fridge and dip using spoon or toothpick so the chocolate covers a light layer around ball and place back on parchment paper. 
  6. Put balls back in fridge for 10 minutes
  7. If you have remaining chocolate, you can drizzle lightly across balls to add decoration! Make it fancy :) I used a sandwich baggie and added the rest of the melted chocolate in the bag and took out all the air. Cut a very small cut on the corner of the bag so the chocolate slowly drizzles out!
  8. Put back in fridge for 5 minutes
  9. Serve and enjoy!!
