Raw Protein Balls

These lovelies are packed full of goodness: almonds, chia seeds, raw cacao,  raw sprouted protein powder, sesame seeds, coconut oil and more… Chia seeds are one of the richest plant-based sources of essential fats; a high quality protein food and loaded with antioxidants; chia seeds are one of my favourite seeds.

Thinking ahead as the Swedish weather will soon start to darken, this is a great pick me up snack that will get you through the afternoon and a healthier alternative to those packaged snacks most of us having lurking around the office!

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup organic almond flour
  • 1 scoop raw protein powder of your choice (I like Amazing Meal but you can use any)
  • 1/4 cup organic sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup organic chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup organic raw cacao powder
  • 1/2 cup organic nut butter
  • 1 tablespoon organic coconut oil (melted)
  • 2 tablespoons organic maple syrup

METHOD

  1. Combine all ingredients into a food processor and process until well combined and in a crumbly, paste-type consistency.
  2. Scoop small spoonfuls and squeeze tightly in the palm of your hands then roll between the palms of your hands into a small ball shape.
  3. Serve plain, or roll in sesame seeds, cacao nibs, coconut flakes, sunflower seeds or chia seeds.
  4. Refrigerate and they will become firmer. Eat straight from fridge to maintain shape.
