It was
a cold rainy Saturday (like most Saturdays in England through January) and I
had munchies GALORE! So I’m flicking through Instagram Stories (don’t you just
love that IG feature that now? So much easier having all of your favourite
social media features on one application in my opinion… I barely ever feel the
need to use Snap Chat now unless there’s a particular Athlete I follow using
it.) Anyhooo…. One of the ladies I follow (mariaok_dk – be sure to check her
out for fitness and foodie inspo) was making these scrummy looking protein
balls… and just like that I was in the kitchen seeing what ingredients I had
available to me to create my own. This is what I came up with:
Ingredients:
24g
of Dr Zaks rich chocolate protein peanut butter powder (you can get this from
musclefood.com and it’s a lot cheaper than other powdered peanut butters with
less fats and higher protein also)
1
scoop of Quest chocolate protein powder
100g
Porridge Oats
15g
Chia Seeds
15g
Desiccated Coconut
1
cup of water
It
was as simple as:
Lining
a Tupperware with grease proof paper, combining all of the ingredients in a
bowl except the coconut which your going to need to keep in a bowl of its own,
mix in your water, half a cup at a time and using a spoon really give it a good
mix so there is no dry mixture to be seen – this is going to be super sticky
and a little messy but you then need to roll the mixture into little balls – I got
around 9 balls out of the mixture and then roll each ball individually in the
coconut – this removes the stickiness and adds a tiny bit extra healthy fat.
Refridgerate
for about 20 minutes and they are good to demolish!
Macros
based on the ingredients mentioned above per ball if you make 9 like I did are:
Carbs:
8g, Fat 2.8g, Protein 5.2g
