Cookie Dough Protein Balls
Want to know what my new obsession is? It’s these Cookie Dough Protein Balls and OMG are they delicious! They curb my sweet tooth in the afternoon and they are also so great to grab from the fridge with a banana and head out the door with the little ones when we’re in a rush. Let’s be honest life is busy and we need healthy snacks that not only nourish us but that keep us full and these Cookie Dough Balls do just that as well as adding extra protein, fibre, iron, and omegas which I know we all love. Oh and since they’re made with dates which are my favourite natural sweeteners that help to curb any sugar cravings and don’t cause you to crash after eating them. These Cookie Dough Protein Balls tick all the boxes and I just know you’re going to be as obsessed with them as I am.
Cookie Dough Protein Balls
Ingredients:
1 cup of raw cashews
½ cup of rolled oats
2 tbsp of hemp seeds
8 Medjool dates
4 tbsp of nut butter ( I love cashew butter)
½ tsp of vanilla essence
Pinch of salt
6 tbsp of melted coconut oil
1 scoop of Go Good Vanilla protein powder
1/3 cup of dark choc chips
Method:
Add all the ingredients except for the chocolate chips to your food processor and blend until the mixture is sticky. It takes around 3-4 minutes and if you’re not getting there add in a little more melted coconut oil to help it along.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and place in the freezer for 5 minutes to cool down.
Then pour in chocolate chips and shape into balls.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
