Protein balls are best consumed either pre or post workout to help the muscles to repair during the recovery phases of your weekly workout cycle. Many health shops sell protein balls but they are at a huge markup price. For the same thing you can make your own, at the fraction of the price.
Here’s my recipe for Almond and Peanut butter Protein Balls.
Makes 8 to 10 Protein Balls
Ingredients:
5-10 tablespoons Peanut Butter
2 scoops of Hemp protein powder or impact whey isolate protein powder
1 small bag of ground almond nuts
2 tablespoons of Honey
6 teaspoons of Almond Extract
Rice Milk
A handful of almond nuts.
Mix all the ingredients except for the rice milk and almond nuts in a bowl.
Pour the rice milk a splash at a time and mix together until you get the right consistency.
Consistency should not be too soft or too hard, somewhere in between.
Using your hands and take small handfuls of the mixture and roll into balls.
Chop the almond nuts into very small pieces.
Coat the balls by rolling them over the nuts.
Put in the fridge to set for an hour.
They will keep for a week in the fridge.
Rest and recovery between workouts is just as important as the training itself so tuck into good nutrition to let your body be at it’s optimal best!
