Peanut Choc Protein Balls
Protein balls are the perfect nutritious snack when you're on the run. These are packed full of fibre, protein and are a delicious mix of salty and sweet. Perfect mouthful!
Rather than buying nut meal, which is expensive and you don't know how long it's been sitting on a supermarket shelf going rancid, I recommend buying nuts & seeds in whole form and just blitz them in a blender to make your own fresh nut meal. Takes 10 seconds! You can do this in big batches & store in an airtight container in the fridge, so it’s ready to go whenever you need it.
These are minimal effort, maximum flavour!
