6-Pack Protein Balls

I got this receipe from http://sixpackforgirls.com/six-pack-snack-protein-balls & thought of making this delicious & tempting snack. Its easy plus taste super delicious that you won't feel guilty of eating it. A good alternative to protein bars.

Anyway here it goes:

They are amazingly quick and simple to make, and taste so good you’ll have to remind yourself NOT to feel guilty after eating them because they are 100% six-pack legal; awesome.

You won’t need to make a note of all the ingredients, because I’m sure you’ll be able to remember them. In fact, there’s hardly anything to remember at all.


Protein Powder
Oats
Water
Yep, that’s it. Nothing more, or less, than I have in my protein shakes – no nuts, no seeds, no dates, nothing but oats and 100% whey protein powder (although you could add other things in like raisins and nuts, just remember – the more things you add, the more calories you’re adding and this is about keeping those low and the ‘yum’ factor HIGH).

I used the same quantities that I use for my shakes too, apart from the water – you only need to tiniest amount to bind the oats and protein together.

Step One – put the oats and protein in my killer blender and zapped it until the oats were almost as fine as the protein powder (you don’t have to make it fine, I just chose to).

Step Two – put the blended oats and protein into a bowl and added a dribble of water to it and started to combine everything with a spoon.

** I cannot stress enough how little water you’re going to need – seriously underestimate what you initially think and you should be about right. You’ll think it’s not going to be enough and be tempted to add more, DON’T!

I was warned about this; on my first attempt I did add more water and ended up with a sloppy mess – just keep working the ingredients together until they form a firm dough.

Step Three – turn your protein dough ball out onto a chopping board – I found it helped to roll it quickly in protein powder to stop it sticking to the board – and press it down so it’s flat. If you fancy the idea of a thick soft and chewy cookie then you could leave it just like this; if you want balls, then you’ll need to do a bit more work.

Step Four – cut your dough into quarters and then each of those quarters in half. Then roll them between the palms of your hands to form small balls – to make them look a little bit ‘special’ (think chocolate truffles dusted with cocoa powder) I rolled them in protein powder, this also stops them from sticking to each other too.

Step Five – put them in a little container, store them in the fridge and THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is all there is to it!

These snacks are also low calorie but taste like 300+ calories per ball Enjoy!
