Healthy Peanut Butter Balls

While I try and eat healthy on a regular basis, sweet treats are something that always seem to find a way into my week. Combine healthy foods + natural sweetener and BAM, you have a guilt-free way to take care of your craving. These peanut butter balls were made in my trusty Ninja blender and have since become a snack favorite. They're perfect after a meal, a workout or even when the 3pm slump hits. Each ball is packed with health benefits and tons of flavor.
