Peanut butter protein balls!....



Rest day today, and with the weather being poor, I've been playing in the kitchen.

These little suckers are an awesome 'clean' treat and the macros are pretty decent too. Low carb, high in healthy fats and protein, they are ideal for a rest and recovery day.

Get your hands in, get messy, and give them a go, they are dead easy and quick to make.

Ingredients:-

2 scoops (50g) Myprotein chocolate & banana whey protein powder.
70g ground almonds.
150g whole earth organic peanut butter.
25g honey.
15g lucybee coconut oil.
Whatever topping you like. (Chopped nuts, dessicatted coconut, cocoa powder, dried chopped fruit.)

Method:-

Add protein powder and ground almonds to a large bowl.
In a separate small bowl add peanut butter, honey, and coconut oil. 
Place this bowl in the microwave for 1 min to melt.
Give it a quick stir and add to the protein powder bowl.
Give everything a good mix with your hands and form one large ball.
Divide this large ball into your desired size smaller balls. (I made 7 which are about the size of a golf ball but you may like smaller).
Roll these smaller balls in whatever toppings you like. I used chopped almonds, dessicatted coconut, and cocoa powder.
Chill in the fridge for an hour or so then dive in!

Macros (per ball):-

Enjoy!...
