Almond Espresso Protein Balls
By Donna&Danielle on October 28, 2016
I have been seeing and reading recipes for protein balls. I kept telling myself that I was going to give one a try but have not gotten around to it until the other day. I was looking for a little something sweet to munch on, to satisfy a craving as I kept seeing all the Halloween candy out there… And thought I would go for it. I was a little unsure that these would be enough to satisfy my sweet craving, two protein balls equaled 1 serving but I was pleasantly surprised! They are just sweet enough, rich and oh so good! I love coffee so these were divine. Definitely a treat that tastes like a cheat!
Not only are these delicious, they actually have some nutritional value as they contain my favorite morning drink – Shakeology! That means that these little gems have super-food nutrition in them! What they do not have is processed sugar or flour! And they were super simple to make! Just mix, roll and refrigerate!
Now I will have to try other protein bit recipes, so stay tuned!
- 1 cup all-natural smooth almond butter (just almonds no sugar)
- ¼ cup raw organic honey
- ¾ cup dry organic old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 scoop Café Latte Shakeology (Don't have it? Contact me - I can hook you up with some)
- ½ cup raw sliced almonds
- Combine almond butter, honey, oats, Shakeology, and almonds in a medium bowl,
- Mix well with a rubber spatula or better yet get your frustrations out and squeeze and knead it with your hands
- Shape the mixture into twenty four walnut size balls (level tablespoon)
- Place in airtight container.
- If doing layers, place wax paper in between layers.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Enjoy
- 2 Almond Espresso Balls equals 1/2 yellow container, 2 teaspoons
