Vegan-Friendly Energy Protein Balls
Ingredients for 15 balls
- Wet
- 1/2 cup natural nut butter (must have oil)
- 1/2 cup raw honey (or maple, agave to make it vegan)
- Dry
- 2/3 cup crushed roasted almonds (or nut of your choice) – you can omit or reduce to lessen calories
- 1 cup raw rolled oats
- 4 scoops (~2/3 cup) vegan protein powder (I used Blogilates sweet cream flavor)
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries, unsweetened
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Steps
Step 1
Mix together the Wet ingredients in a separate bowl.
Step 2
In a larger bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. If needed, place whole, roasted almonds in a plastic bag and crush them. Add the wet ingredients, and using a spatula, mix and mash the ingredients until powder is NO longer visible. This will be difficult and it will probably take about 5 minutes. Once mixed, dampen your hands with a little water, then massage the ingredients, ensure the mixture has evenly distributed the ingredients.
Step 3
Use an ice cream scoop or spoon to carve out equal sized amounts and roll them into a ball. Repeat until all the ingredients have been used.
Step 4
Store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for longer whenever you want a sweet treat!
