These tasty Cookie Dough Balls are the perfect mid-afternoon snack packed full of nourishing, wholefood ingredients.

They deliver that nostalgic cookie dough flavour but with the added benefits of fiber, healthy fats, and protein. No blood sugar spikes, just sustained energy to keep you going all afternoon.
