Keto Chocolate Chip Energy Ball Recipe
I saw a similar recipe but it had oats and I knew my readers are not into oats. So I wanted to see if I could make this gluten free and low carb. Oats are often contaminated during the processing because they are packaged in factories that have wheat products. Also oats can be so similar to wheat that the body still thinks that it is gluten and can cause gut irritation and autoimmune flare ups.
Be careful when you make these because they are addicting. I made this healthy keto chocolate chip energy snack ball recipe the day I was going over to my new friend, Shannon Garrett’s house who had invited us for dinner. I was going to take a picture then place them in the freezer. Well I ate 5 during the photo shoot so I decided to pack them all up and take them over to my friends house. She seemed very excited to have them because she has Hashimoto’s too and she eats the same way I do. Check out her site which has awesome articles for thyroid patients here.
