Snickers Protein Balls
Who else loves a Snickers chocolate bar? Obviously they are not the healthiest choice of chocolate, but fear not, I have created a totally clean,guilt-free and nourishing Snickers Protein Ball that is just bursting with the taste of a traditional Snickers!
Enjoy 1-2 as a high protein snack or as an after dinner treat to satisfy those chocolate cravings!
These Snickers Protein Balls are:
Gluten Free
Dairy Free
Soy Free
Refined Sugar Free
Vegan
Ingredients (makes 16 balls)
1 cup almond meal
1 serve chocolate protein powder
2/3 cup dates, soaked in boiling water for 15 minutes
1 tbsp cacao powder
4 tbsp natural peanut butter (smooth or crunchy works)
2 tbsp melted coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional: handful of peanuts (if not using crunchy peanut butter)
Method
Discard the date soaking water and add dates to a food processor. Blend until a paste forms.
Add remaining ingredients (excluding peanuts if using) and blend until a crumbly dough mixture forms.
Add in the peanuts and pulse to combine.
Roll into 16 balls. You will have to press the mixture together so they don’t crumble before rolling into a circular ball.
Place in the freezer for 30 minutes to set, then enjoy 1-2 as a snack or after dinner treat!
