Chocolate Chia Peanut Butter Balls

Chocolate Chia Peanut Butter bites

Want a quick snack, full of protein and fiber?  Need something quick to grab in the middle of the night when you're feeding your baby?  Have a craving for something sweet?  Want a post-workout snack?

Chia seeds are a great addition here.  I usually add them to anything I'm baking.  So many benefits - high in Omega 3, fiber, protein, calcium, iron and antioxidants to name a few.

And these little bites are awesome!!
