No-Bake Energy Balls
1. Hazelnut Latte Protein Balls
Hazelnuts and creamy coffee flavor make these energy balls taste like a rich coffeehouse dessert.
Healthy fat from hazelnuts and nut butter, fiber from rolled oats, and protein from Cafe Latte Shakeology will quell your hunger pangs without weighing you down.
Experiment with any all-natural nut butter, like almond, cashew, or walnut butter in this recipe (of course, peanut butter tastes delicious too!).
Store leftover protein balls in an air-tight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
2. Chocolate Brownie Bites
These delectable brownie bites are easy to make and full of (and covered!) with chocolate — who can resist that?
3. Chocolate Shakeology Cake Pops
Chocolate Shakeology provides the chocolatey flavor base, and for an extra chocolate kick, we dip these cake pops in melted chocolate. (!!)
If you’ve always wanted to learn how to make cake pops, this recipe is a great introduction to making these fun treats!
4. No-Bake Shakeology Balls
These simple No-Bake Shakeology Balls are made with Chocolate Shakeology.
It’s as easy as mixing a few ingredients together, rolling into bite-sized balls, and sticking them into the refrigerator.
By the time you finish your workout, you’ll have an amazing and nutritious snack waiting for you!
5. Birthday Cake Energy Balls
If you’re one of those raw cookie dough eaters, then this energy ball recipe is definitely for you.
These Birthday Cake Energy Balls made with Vanilla Shakeology are incredibly easy to “bake” — all you have to do is place seven ingredients into a food processor, blend them together, and you’re basically done.

Speaking of cookie dough, this no-bake cookie dough energy ball recipe combines Vanilla Shakeology with almond butter, raw almonds, and chocolate chips for a delicious, healthy snack.
Sweetened with a touch of raw honey, the recipe makes 13 energy balls, leaving you with plenty to share (or not). Store them in the fridge until they’re ready to enjoy.
7. Eggnog Protein Balls
Who says you can’t enjoy eggnog year-round? (Not us.)
Even if you’re not a fan of the drink, the aroma alone of the warming spices in it — cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg — is enough to make you want to wrap yourself in a warm blanket and nosh on these delicious bites.
All you need is oat flour, Vanilla Shakeology, spices, almond milk, and pure maple syrup for a touch of sweetness.
8. No-Bake Cinnamon Sugar Donut Holes
We blended Vanilla Shakeology with almonds, coconut, dates, honey, and spices to get a flavor and texture that is authentically donut.
The mixture is a bit crumbly after a trip through the food processor, but when it’s squeezed into shape, it holds together nicely.
Once formed into balls, roll your No-Bake Cinnamon Sugar Donut Holes in a mixture of cinnamon, sugar, and coconut for the finishing touch.
They’re not too sweet and have just the right amount of spice.
9. Tiramisu No-Bake Cookies
Treat yourself to a decadent-tasting dessert without straying from your nutrition goals. You can enjoy these as energy balls or press them down for a perfect-sized cookie.
Cocoa powder, almond butter, and Café Latte Shakeology combine to make these delightful tiramisu-flavored cookies that don’t require any baking.
All it takes is a little mixing, a little rolling, and a whole lot of enjoying.
10. Jack-O’-Lantern Protein Balls
These protein balls feature a delicious combination of peanut butter, pumpkin, cinnamon, and Vanilla Shakeology.
Each one is the perfect balance of these swoon-worthy flavors. You can swap out peanut butter for almond butter, cashew butter, or even sunflower seed butter.
And if you happen to have pumpkin pie spice on hand, you could swap it for the cinnamon. Mini chocolate chips and pretzels transform these treats into mini jack-o’-lanterns.

Matcha, the powdered version of green tea leaves, lends its gorgeous bright-green color to this energy ball recipe created by Let’s Eat Cake.
The just slightly bitter flavor of matcha balances the sweetness of the Medjool dates perfectly.
13. Gingerbread Balls
These energy balls are perfect for a healthy holiday snack, but let’s be real: We’d eat these year-round. (And we will.)
Ginger, cloves, and cinnamon evoke cozy winter days and nights, while dates provide just the right touch of sweetness.

Note: To save time, you can use pre-shredded carrots. Freshly grated carrots are wetter and could make the “dough” a little sticky; just use a paper towel to squeeze out the excess moisture before you add them to the food processor.
