Summer is easy, smoothies are on the agenda every day, but I don't really want to drink up a huge glass of ice when it's freezing outside. So I figured, something that could last the week in the fridge, something with a good mix of protein, carbs and fat, and something that would satisfy my sweet tooth. These protein balls have all of those things!
These originally came from SARAHH_89 on Instagram, but I have altered the recipe a bit.
4 tablespoons of good quality peanut butter
4 tablespoons of greek yoghurt (I use Chobani)
2 scoops of protein powder (has to be a nice tasting one! I use bulk nutrients banana flavour)
½ cup quinoa flakes
½ cup chopped almonds
2 tbsp cranberries
2 tsp chia seeds
2 tbsp coconut (for rolling)
Mix everything together apart from coconut. Roll into golf ball sized rounds.
Roll balls in coconut.
This gave me 8 good sized balls which were good in an air tight container for about 5 days.
Halve for less or double or triple for more!!!
Easy!!
The bf taste tested these and said they taste like "Cadel bars" that he has for cycling (which apparently are pretty yum!). Enjoy :-)
