Here is a quick & easy way to make a healthy snack or dessert that you don’t need to feel guilty about eating! {As long as you don’t eat 5 in one sitting 😉 } There are lots of recipes floating around the interwebs for Protein Balls. Most include peanut butter, but I sub in almond butter to be more Paleo friendly! Below is my adapted, super easy recipe originally found here.
Frozen Protein Balls
Ingredients
- 2 c almond butter
- 2 scoops chocolate protein powder
- 2 ripe bananas
Mix all ingredients together. Roll into quarter/half dollar size balls. Freeze in baggies or storage container.
DONE! See, I told you they were very easy!! 🙂
They’re best frozen in my opinion, but definitely don’t have to be. They’re great to grab as pre or post workout or as a little dessert! Enjoy!!
**Just a few tips! Make sure your almond butter isn’t too runny, or your mixture will be soupy & won’t form into balls. MaraNatha Almond Butter is a great brand. Also, make sure you’re using a good protein powder, not one that’s stocked full of sugar & ingredients you can’t pronounce!! Try any of these – NutriForce, Vega, or True Athlete Whey Protein.**
