Course: Recipes, Kids, TreatProtein balls. You are either into these or not, and if you’re not, can I suggest giving it a go? These are portable chocolatey snacks that aren’t stuffed with sugar and ultra refined ingredients that carry no goodness and only a sweet hit that will probably send your blood sugar plunging in no time! These little truffle-like goodies are like a mini nutritional powerhouse, and – if like me – you have a sweet tooth, they are a great little go-to for snacking! Use the very best cacao you can get (our
Cacao Powder from Tanzania is my obvious go-to!), as well as organic, cold pressed coconut oil. I also love to roll mine in a few different coatings for a bit of variety – so in this instance I did a couple in baobab powder (packed with vitamin c and other lovely goodies), some in cacao, some in chia and a couple in cacao nibs. Yummy!!
