There are combos in life that just go together, like avocado and toast (or tbh- avocado with anything) or a burger and fries. But is there anything quite as classic as pb & j? Growing up, I had this combo all the time (yup, we were allowed to bring nut butters to school). And this was a classic for a reason. The sticky nature of the peanut butter combined with sweet jam makes perfect sense. I wanted to create all those same nostalgic feelings, so I created these PB & J energy bites.

Funny thing about me is I actually don’t really love too many sweets and birthday cake is usually a little too much for me, but Sam lovessss birthday cake. Actually he likes anything sweet, especially in candy form and lots of sprinkles. So I basically made these healthier birthday cake energy balls for him and obviously had to use sprinkles. They add such a nice touch and what is a birthday cake without sprinkles? Sad, it’s a sad freakin’ cake. After I made these I had to test them out on Mr. Sprinkles himself and he LOVED them so much that they didn’t last longer than 24 hours in our house… so you’ve been warned. Maybe you want to hide them in the freezer so you don’t eat them all so quickly, I definitely will do that myself next time. …
I am sure if you’ve been following along for a while, you know I don’t do labels, diets or follow any prescribed food rules. But for the purposes of this post, it was important to identify that these dreamy vegan and keto fat bombs are completely customizable to your needs and preferences.

Or you can eliminate the nut part altogether and just make the coconut butter part. No matter what you choose, I promise you will LOVE these vegan and keto fat bombs. I’ve actually got Sam requesting them from time to time because they satisfy your sweet tooth but also provide some energy and good fats as well. …
I’ve had my fair share of energy balls in my life, these chocolate energy balls are probably my fave. Why? Because they are super rich, chocolatey and contain so much goodness in terms of the ingredients. I love to have them on hand for whenever I need a quick boost of energy or want a snack. They are great to keep in the fridge or freezer for whenever you get the urge. And with these chocolate energy balls, that urge can happen a lot because they are THAT good. …
