How to Make No Bake 4 Ingredient Peanut Butter Protein Balls | UK Dietitian Nichola Whitehead

peanut butter

🥗Healthier: almond butter

💰Cheaper: sunflower seed butter

Almond butter has less saturated fat and is lower in calories.

honey

🥗Healthier: maple syrup

💰Cheaper: agave syrup

Maple syrup is a natural sweetener that adds a unique flavor.

chocolate chips

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate chips

💰Cheaper: cocoa powder

Dark chocolate chips provide antioxidants and less sugar.

coconut flakes

🥗Healthier: chopped nuts

💰Cheaper: oats

Chopped nuts add healthy fats and protein.

Mix together the protein powder, milled flax seed/ground nuts and peanut butter in a bowl before adding the sweetener e.g. agave nectar/honey.

Use your hands to clump the mixture together into a big ball (and add your optional chocolate chips), before breaking bits off and rolling into smaller balls.

Roll the balls in desiccated coconut (optional) and place onto a plate covered with greaseproof paper.

Chill in the fridge for at least 30 mins before serving.. the balls can be frozen too!
