I am still trying to get rid of this sweet tooth that I have but unfortunately every time I have a bit of spare time in the kitchen my mind goes straight to chocolate and creating a sweet snack. I guess eating and making a nutrient rich snack is better than having a nutrient deficient snack from the supermarket, however I am still working hard on not needing them (the struggle is real!!)

I made these balls tonight as my husband has a busy week at uni and I didn’t have time to make something to bake. These protein balls turned out to be amazing! They are loosely based on my Protein bar recipe but with a few additions. I added Bulletproof Brain Octaine Oil to increase the fat content and to bind it all together, however you can use any liquid ie. filtered water/almond milk/coconut milk.

I hope you enjoy these as much as I do. They make about 16 balls so should last a while in the freezer. Enjoy xo
