Looking for a healthy alternative snack on the go? One of my most favourite low
carb snacks is “Protein balls”. Essentially, I describe them as the healthy
version of cookie dough… and we all know everyone is “down with the dough”. They’re simple and quick to make and real kick is- they don't even need to be baked! They’re full of
protein, healthy, and can give you that afternoon boost you need.
Prep Time:
15 mins
Cook Time: 1
hour
Ingredients:
1 cup chocolate whey
protein powder
1 ½ cups of
crunchy natural peanut butter
½ cup rolled oats
2 tbs flax
seeds
2 packets splenda
½ cup of chopped up mixed nuts
1 tbs ground coffee
Put all the
ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix as needed. The constancy should be
somewhat like cookie dough; depending on the type of protein you use, you may
need to adjust the amount of protein or peanut butter. Roll the protein in to balls (about 2 tbs worth per ball). This makes about 16 balls. You can sprinkle the
balls with cinnamon and or flaked coconut for an added delight. For best
results, I like let them firm up in the fridge for about an hour.
Enjoy!!
