FAQs
The ground espresso beans give depth to the chocolate flavor in this keto energy balls recipe. If you don't want to or can't use coffee, you can use your favorite keto protein powder.
For best results, I recommend using a chocolate flavored protein powder.
When stored properly, these keto energy balls will stay fresh for up to a week. After refrigerating to firm them, I recommend placing them into an airtight container.
