Protein Balls

Foodie and Model Roz Purcell joined us with her recipe for protein balls which are an ideal way to start your day. 


Protein Balls

Ingredients


1 can chickpeas
2 scoops whey protein
2 tbsp peanut butter
1 tbsp honey
50g Flahavan's Oats
70g Dark chocolate for dunking!- optional

Method


1. In a food processor blend the oats into a fine flour and place into a medium sized bowl.
2. Add in the chickpeas and blend until smooth (we don't want to give away any idea these are made of chickpeas!)
3. Add in the rest of the ingredients and blend until fully combined.
4. Using a spoon, stir in the cacao nibs to give that chocolate chunk effect.
5. Using your hands take sections and roll into balls, keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
