Peanut Butter & Chocolate Power Balls

Lots of you ladies ask for suggestions on healthy snacks to eat on the go! And courtesy of a friend who has a six-pack and two young boys (just in case anyone had any excuses stored up), we’ve managed to get hold of a handy little recipe book from Solgar Vitamins. It’s called ‘Whey of Life’ and has tons of great recipes including, breakfast, smoothies, savoury dishes, and sweet treats, all made with protein, and free from bad fats, sugar, and lots of other nasties. (It does recommend soya as an alternative to milk, but they can’t be perfect)

Anyway, we thought we’d share one of the fab recipes with you, the perfect snack…are you ready!!

Peanut Butter & Chocolate Power Balls:

2 tbsp organic, salt-free Crunchy Peanut Butter
1 tbsp runny organic honey
3 scoops of plain or chocolate flavour protein powder
1 tbsp of ground flaxseeds
1tbsp of Solgar Omega Advanced Blend (or any oil with the ratio 2:1:1 – omega 3:6:9 respectively)
1 tbsp organic cocoa powder
1-2 tbsp chopped nuts
apple juice or rice milk, 1-2 tbsp if needed to bind the mixture

Combine all of the ingredients, excepting the apple juice and chopped nuts in a bowl. Work together with your hands to form a firm paste similar to the consistency of marzipan. Add a few drops of the apple juice or rice milk if necessary to bind. Form into 8 round balls the size of a walnut. Roll the balls in the chopped up nuts, and refrigerate for 30 minutes. DE-LIC-IOUS!!
