CHIA SEED PROTEIN BITES

Chia Seed Protein Bites image

I keep these little bites on hand in my refrigerator and grab them for breakfast or a snack when I'm in a hurry. We have a lot of food allergies in our family and I like to keep healthy snacks around that everyone can eat. This recipe has no gluten, eggs, dairy or corn, so it's the perfect go-to treat in our house. -Tanja Miller, Peoria, Arizona
