Superpower Protein Balls

Every decade has its popular foods, and with the beginning of the twenty tens the phenomenon of the little bliss balls emerged. Also known as protein balls, dough balls, energy balls, protein truffles, or the super cute version: amaze balls. This version is all vegan, lactose-free, grain-free, and gluten-free. They are made of mostly nuts (any) and seeds for a major protein boost.
