Energy bites, protein balls, energy balls, whatever you wanna call em, they have achieved major popularity in the healthy food world. They are packed with healthy ingredients all in a perfect portion.

I made some coconut lime energy bites awhile back and I honestly cannot believe it took me this long to test out a chocolate coffee version. Well probably not the best-suited recipe for children (they have too much energy as is), you can omit coffee to make them kid-friendly. Chocolate peanut butter energy balls are still delicious and definitely a kid-approved flavor combo.

I, however, am I huge coffee fan and coffee flavor foods are no exception. The coffee stays for me and I love these mocha energy bites! Let’s get you to love them too.

I’m not claiming to be this professional Indian spice master, but I have been interested in Indian spice blends and cooking for some time now. Like most cultures, cooking roots go deep and home cooking really stands out to me when I think of Indian culture. It’s a symbol of family, togetherness, and love.
