One of the best things about these coconut peanut butter balls? You get a boost of goodness without even turning on the stove! Just like my Almond Mocha Bliss Balls, these are a dream—so easy to make and so delicious you won’t believe they’re actually good for you.
The only challenge? You’ll be reaching for more than one! Satisfy your cravings and get a burst of energy in just a few minutes.
What Makes Energy Bites A Great Snack?
Not only are they fast and simple, but they’re really, really good. There are so many snacks out there that are processed and high in sugar, but they’re really not a good addition to any diet at all.
These energy balls are made with natural and filling ingredients that will actually give you energy to power through your day!
Keep in mind that these snacks are great for all ages as well. They’re perfect for an on-the-go snack and are even a great idea to pack for the kids’ school lunches.
Star Ingredients
- Vanilla WheyPowder – This makes a filling snack and a touch of sweetness and flavor. You can use any kind you like!
- Natural peanut butter – To cut down on added sugars, natural peanut butter is best. Read the ingredients and try to find one that is made with just peanuts and salt. If you can’t eat peanuts or don’t like them you can swap out for any nut or nut-free butter.
- Unsweetened coconut flakes – Unsweetened flakes are key. Sweetened coconut flakes have a TON of sugar added to them, and it’s really not necessary.
- Honey – Honey is the perfect natural sweetener! You can also use maple syrup as well.
Step-By-Step Made Simple
- In a medium bowl, add all ingredients and mix well until combined.
- Roll a heaping tablespoon of the mixture until it forms a smooth ball
- Roll the balls in the remaining 1/4 cup of coconut flakes
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to 1 month.
I find one is enough for me as a snack and if you are following the Portion Fix Plan from Beachbody, one would count as 1/2 Orange Container, 2 tsp and 1/4 Red.
Variation Ideas
If you want to add a little bit of chocolate flavoring, sprinkle on some cocoa powder!
You can easily use crunchy or creamy peanut butter for these energy balls. It all just depends on the texture that you want.
Leftovers? No Problem!
Nope, they don’t! But to be honest, I tend to like the texture of them a bit more when they’re cold. I recommend storing them in the fridge for the best results.
My other little secret tip is that you can freeze them and then eat them. This gives them a harder texture but one that then melts in your mouth as they warm up.

These are so easy to make and absolutely delicious! Being vegan I struggle with getting enough iron and protein so these provide those essential nutrients and also satisfies any sweet tooth! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
My pleasure Bobbie!
Perfect!! I didn’t have chia seeds or hemp hearts, but used 1/4c ground flax seed and that worked fine. And I made them a bit smaller, got 14 total so about 165 cal each. Love ‘em!!
Great improvising. Flaxseed is a great substitute! Thanks for sharing.
This recipe doesnt specify the chia seed measurement?
I am sorry I missed that but thank you for letting me know. I have since updated the recipe. It calls for a 1/4 cup of chia seeds.
