VEGAN Pumpkin Shakeology Bites

I'll admit it... Vanilla Shakeology is not my favorite.

I bought a bag thinking that I would like the variety involved with having a more neutral shake base, but the vanilla flavor has a punchy taste that doesn't sit well with me. I have tried some pretty promising recipes in attempt to find one that would make the experience tolerable, but in the end it seemed that the $140 bag was going to sit in my cupboard indefinitely....

.... until I had a fantastic idea. I can make some of those shakeology balls with it!! Surely using it as an ingredient would be enough to mask the after taste. I found some recipes and got a basic idea of what to do, but I knew I wanted to change ingredients to vegan versions to fit my current eating plan. 

So here it is!
