At boost juice they have these really yummy chocolate protein balls rolled in coconut for $1.50. I love them. They are the perfect sweet treat without being too sweet. I have been however googling for the recipe or at least the ingredients list to no avail.
But the lovely Lisa Pate shared her protein ball recipe with me over on her facebook page. You can see it here.
I didn't have quite the same ingredients and wanted to make them right then and there so here is my take on hers.
***** If you don't have protein powder or don't use it then substitute for skim milk powder. It has a good amount of calcium and protein and will do the trick nicely.
1/2 cup protein powder - I had vanilla but Lisa uses chocolate and omits the cocoa
1/2 cup steel cut oats
3/4 cup coconut
2 tblspn good cocoa
1 tblspn hot water
3 tblspn organic peanut butter
1 tblspn honey
5 tblspn almond milk
Extra coconut to roll in.
Mix protein, oats and coconut in a bowl.
Melt peanut butter, water and honey in a bowl in the microwave.
Add to dry mix then slowly add milk.
Roll into balls then cover in coconut.
Put in fridge or freeze straight away.
Makes 16.
Just an aside - I do love these but I am still keen to work out what's in those boost juice ones ! They are way more chocolatey :)
