This is my go-to snack for when I’m on the run… Or after a workout… Or even for dessert. Packed full of plant based protein and raw chocolate, these tasty balls will satisfy all cravings!
INGREDIENTS
BASE:
  • 1 cup roasted peanuts
  • 1 cup almonds
  • 1/2 cup Pitted Dates
  • 1/3 Cup cacao powder
  • 3 Tbsp Rice Malt Syrup
  • 1 scoop vegan protein powder
  • 1 Tbsp water
DIRECTIONS
  1. Place the peanuts and almonds into a food processor and blitz on medium high speed until finely ground.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients and process until well mixed. If the mixture is too dry, add an extra teaspoon of water.
  3. Shape into round balls. There should make approximately 12 decent sized balls.
  4. Store in the fridge for up to five days, or in the freezer for up to three months.

The original version was a tad sweeter, but I prefer this one because now it’s 100% FRUCTOSE FREE. Admittedly, some children find cacao nibs too bitter (even when hidden in a yummy cookie) so use them sparingly or not at all.

If taste is of utmost importance, Juice Plus Complete Dutch Chocolate is one of the yummiest protein powders I’ve tried yet. And I’ve tried many.
This product is more of a ‘complete’ mix – balancing the carbohydrate / protein content and sweetened by natural sugars. It also contains ingredients like spirulina (which is a fantastic source of plant based iron), ancient grains and other whole food nutrients, which is reflected in the price.
Whichever protein powder you choose, make sure it’s tasty and, most importantly, VEGAN!
