Back! And Mint Chocolate Chip Power Balls

Sorry for the little hiatus from posting about power balls, but it's back! And with mint chocolate chip power balls! To get that minty-chocolatey taste I used cocoa powder, mint extract, and chopped up Andes Mints Bits. I didn't really know what to use as a good liquid, so ended up mushing up 2 bananas and added a little more grapefruit juice than usual. Overall though, I think they turned out well, so here's the recipe:
