Instructions
- Mix together the protein powder, milled flax seed/ground nuts and peanut butter in a bowl before adding the sweetener e.g. agave nectar/honey
- Use your hands to clump the mixture together into a big ball (and add your optional chocolate chips***), before breaking bits off and rolling into smaller balls (watch the video above to see it being done!)
- Roll the balls in desiccated coconut (optional) and place onto a plate covered with greaseproof paper.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 30 mins before serving.. the balls can be frozen too!
Notes
*I use protein powder in some of my recipes as protein helps us to feel fuller for longer and it’s a great, low calorie, convenient and tasty way of helping people who train regularly to meet their daily protein needs
**I buy milled flax seeds from Holland and Barrett or you could use ground nuts e.g. ground almonds/almond meal
*If you don't use chocolate chips then the balls (x 14) work out to be (per 15g ball) 80 Kcal, 3g carbs, 5g protein and 6g fat
