Yes you heard that right! This is a marriage made in heaven for a super healthy pick me up with your favourite speciality coffee ☕️
These protein balls are low in sugar and have a lovely chewy fudgy texture to give you a great boost of caffeine before or after a workout. Super simple to make and will keep for 5 days in the fridge in a sealed container.
You will need:
Makes 8 protein balls
- 60g oats
- 30g chocolate flavoured protein (you can use any inc. vegan)
- 1 double shot of espresso (I used Mara coffee of course!)
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 2 tbsp almond butter (or any nut butter you fancy!)
- 1 tbsp raw cacao
How to make:
- Add all of the dry ingredients to a food processor and mix for 20 seconds
- Add in your wet ingredients and mix again until well combined - you will have a super sticky dark dough at this point
- Take the dough from the food processor and shape with your hands into 1 large ball. Split this ball in 2 evenly and continue doing so until you have 8 mini dough balls
- Shape each little ball until nice and round and then chill in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight
- Optional - for an extra protein hit roll your protein balls in chopped hazelnuts or almonds.
Once chilled enjoy with a coffee before a 🏋️♂️ or as a healthy snack
Happy cardio!
