Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Energy Balls (RAW VEGAN)


Prep Notes

These are really good. They taste just like Cookie Dough.. without the calories, dairy, gluten! 


I take an extra step I dry the chickpea. So you do not have to use a lot of oats, Oats are good for you great source of energy and

soluble fiber. Everything in moderation!
