Protein balls are healthy snacking alternatives for anyone that suffers sweet cravings. I know when I’m sitting at work and 3.30pm hits I have random chocolate and sweet cravings. Rather than giving in though, I’ve started packing a few of these little protein balls and taking them with me to snack on instead of devouring a bar of chocolate. This recipe is a little different from the traditional chocolate protein balls and uses vanilla protein powder instead (I promise it’s just as tasty!)

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons organic peanut butter

5 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk

1/2 cup oats

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon unsweetened apple sauce

1 scoop vanilla protein powder (although chocolate would work just as well)

Salad seeds to roll (mine included sesame and sunflower seeds)

Method:

In a bowl combine peanut butter, almond milk, oats, honey, apple sauce and protein powder. Use a spoon to mix through the oats until sticky. Using your fingers, create 8 small balls. Rolls each ball into the salad seed mixture then place in a bowl. Refrigerate for an hour or until firm.
