If you’ve got a sweet tooth, these healthy Protein Power Balls make a fantastic snack. They’re easy to make and there’s no cooking involved! Just remember to go easy on them as they do contain a fair bit of energy; one serving is 1-2 balls.
Great for using up any protein powder that you don’t like the taste of when mixed as a drink 🙂
Recipe makes 15-20 balls.
