Finding ready-to-eat, nutritious and protein-filled snacks is on the top of many shopper’s grocery lists. The market for these products has taken off in the last few years, and we’re seeing the continued drop of new items – because people are buying them.
Our latest find, simplyFUEL Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Balls, are the on-the-go snack that’ll keep you satisfied. These little morsels are made with gluten free oats, honey, peanut butter, whey protein concentrate, chocolate chips, vegetable glycerin (a liquid derived from plant oils that adds moisture to foods) and sea salt. They’re formed into balls that are easy to take with you, wherever you’re going.
simplyFUEL’s goal was to create a snack that provides protein, healthy fats and carbs, which shows on their nutrition facts panel. Each serving has 190-calories, 8-grams fat, mostly unsaturated, 2-grams of fiber and 8-grams of protein and they’re gluten-free.
We can see these snacks being great tucked in a bento box for lunch, as a pre- or post-workout snack, tucked away in the fridge for a quick anytime snack at home or as a nutritious treat after dinner. The founder of simplyFUEL is sports dietitian Mitzi Dulan who works as the team dietitian for the Kansas City Royals, who wanted to create a convenient nutritious and fueling snack that tastes great.
You can find simplyFUEL protein balls at Target, where they retail for $10.19 for a 10-count. They’re also available at Costco, Walmart and other popular retailers. You can also purchase them on simplyFUEL’s website, where they offer a load of flavor options, including chocolate coconut peanut butter, brownie batter, peanut butter honey almond and chocolate almond coconut.

Fansare raving about the chocolate chip cookie dough variety. “The best afternoon snack, such great flavor and curbs hunger”, said one person. “These protein balls are a wonderful product they taste great, are low calorie and are packed with healthy nutrients”, exclaimed another fan. “In between my cross training routine, these little bite sized power plants keep me at optimum energy levels. Awesome snack!”, stated one more person.
We’ll be grabbing a bag on our next Target or Costco run, that’s for certain.
