Chocolate Almond Espresso Protein Balls

These protein balls are great for those busy mornings, snacks, or just when you are needing something a little sweet. They have protein, energy, and fiber. I of course do not recommend sharing these with kids, unless you want them bouncing off of the walls from the espresso! These easy to make protein balls are packed with oats, almonds, espresso, chocolate, and flaxseeds. As always, I love to hear your thoughts!
