Better Than Store-Bought Easiest Ever Protein Balls

Whilst I love a few kinds of packaged protein balls – if you’re having them every day, it can lead to a rather expensive snacking habit!

So I went about creating my own version – that are just as delicious, far more economical and far healthier too!

They couldn’t be easier to make... no baking, no blender – they take just minutes to come together!

Nutritionally these couldn’t be better too. They’re all natural, vegan, refined sugar-free, are packed with protein, fibre and healthy fats – to keep you full and satisfied for hours!

You can say goodbye to any junk food cravings with a batch of these on hand.

And once you have your protein powder (I use and love this one), you can make these again and again, saving so much money on store-bought packaged snacks in the long-term. And trust me, you’ll get addicted!

Recipe

Makes around 22 - 26 balls

90g plant based protein powder (vanilla or any preferred flavour) 90g ground almonds 420g natural crunchy peanut butter 5 Tablespoons agave syrup ½ tsp. cinnamon ¼ tsp. salt (if peanut butter is unsalted) Almond or soya milk (quantity - as needed for consistency)

Finely chopped roasted hazelnuts or melted dark chocolate (to coat) - optional

Mix all ingredients (apart from the chopped hazelnuts or dark chocolate) together in a large bowl. Add almond or soya milk a splash at a time until cookie dough consistency is achieved (use your hands to mix). You’ll get a good arm workout! Shape the mixture into balls (~2 Tbsp. each in size). Coat them in melted dark chocolate (highly recommend), or roll them in roasted chopped hazelnuts (optional) or leave as is. Place onto a baking tray or large plate in the fridge for at least an hour to firm up. Store in the fridge or freezer. Best eaten chilled from the fridge. Enjoy! xxx
