Makes 12Ingredients
Ingredients
- 160 g All-Natural Almond Butter
- 25 g Vanilla Impact Whey Protein
- 3 tbsp Honey
- 100 g 100% Instant Oats
- 80 g Protein Chocolate (Dark)
- 1 Crushed almonds
Method
1. In a large bowl, add the almond butter, protein powder, honey and instant oats, mixing well until completely combined.
2. With your hands, create smooth balls roughly the size of a ping-pong ball of the mixture. Place these on a tray and leave to set in the fridge for 15 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, add the dark chocolate to a microwaveable bowl and place in the microwave for 30 seconds. Take out, stir, and repeat this process until the chocolate has fully melted.
4. Carefully add the protein balls to the melted chocolate one at a time, making sure to roll each one about so that it’s entirely covered.
5. Place the chocolate covered balls onto a tray that’s been lined with greaseproof paper, and then sprinkle with crushed almonds.
6. Put the tray back into the fridge for 20 minutes to chill, then serve.
