Energy Ball, Protein Bite : The perfect snack to go
When I arrived in London protein ball was everywhere, I had never heard of them before and was not a huge fan at the beginning. I could not see the point of them, to be honest. When I started to dive into plant-based, raw food and especially raw cakes they started to make sense. They are the basis of Raw cake. And I realised that the one that I had at the beginning was just not good but the combination to make some were endless and the result so tasty.
Since then, I have been spending my time to make them. I always have some stock in my fridge.
They are such nutritional delicious treats: the perfect snack to go, pre or post-workout treat, and they keep satisfied for hours. What a dream !!
I show you today on this post my 2 best recipes, a Maca almond one for any hunger at any time and a more nutritional packed with fatty acid and protein.
Gluten-free, Plant-based, naturally sweet, nutty, good source of protein and energy
