Chad and I are big snackers. We eat pretty consistently throughout the day, every few hours picking up a healthy snack to keep our metabolism rolling! One of our favorite snacks are protein balls! It’s a healthy treat that can also satisfy my sweet tooth when I’m craving chocolate. I mean is there anything better than a sweet treat that actually gives you nutritional value?! Nope!

We’ve made tons of variations of protein balls, which is the beauty about them, you can make them different every time! But we thought it was only fitting to make a fall variation. I love the flavors of fall. From warm cinnamon apple to earthy pumpkin spice, I love them all. The flavors of this season are the coziest, and I’m a huge fan of cozy.

I know it’s “basic” to love fall, but there’s honestly no other season that brings me this much joy. From the weather to the activities to the thankfulness that the season brings, I love it. Clearly love is a word I associate very strongly with fall.

As much as I LOVE (there it is again) pumpkin spice, there are already thousands of pumpkin spice protein ball recipes out there, so I’m going a different route. We are going with cinnamon apple protein balls!

One key to a really good protein ball is really good protein. We have been trying so many protein powders trying to find one that would give us the benefits we were looking for, without tasting like crap. FINALLY we found the winning one. The Arbonne Vanilla Protein Powder is honestly delicious. I can drink it straight or mixed with other ingredients and it tastes just as good! Use our link to get 20% off!

We are working with one of our favorite brands this fall, Modern Oats, and it just so happens that they have an Apple Cinnamon flavor oats cup! They have tons of other flavors too, so be sure to check out their website and use code “touringtastebud” for 10% off your order!

Check out the recipe below and let us know if you give them a try!
