Super Simple Protein Balls

INGREDIENTS 

1/2 CUP ALMONDS

1/2 CUP PEPITAS (PUMPKIN SEEDS)

1 CUPS ROLLED OATS**

1/2 CUP HEMP PROTEIN POWDER***

2 TBS PURE MAPLE SYRUP*

2 TBS WATER

METHOD

• PROCESS ALMONDS, PEPITAS AND OATS UNTIL IT HAS ALL BROKEN DOWN TO NEARLY A ‘MEAL’ CONSISTENCY (YOU CAN LEAVE IT CHUNKIER IF YOU LIKE)

• ADD IN HEMP POWDER AND PULSE UNTIL COMPLETELY COMBINED

• ADD IN MAPLE SYRUP AND WATER, PROCESS UNTIL MIXTURE COMES TOGETHER FORMING A DOUGH

• ROLL TEASPOONS (OR TABLESPOONS) OF MIX INTO BALLS

• PLACE BALLS INTO AN AIRTIGHT CONTAINER AND STORE IN THE FRIDGE, CAN BE FROZEN ALSO.

* HONEY/RICE MALT SYRUP/MASHED BANANA OR APPLE SAUCE COULD BE USED INSTEAD OF MAPLE SYRUP IF PREFERRED

** IF GLUTEN INTOLERANT, YOU COULD USE QUINOA FLAKES OR SPELT FLAKES INSTEAD OF OATS

*** YOU COULD SUBSTITUTE HEMP POWDER WITH A FLAVOURED PROTEIN POWDER.  MAYBE OMIT MAPLE SYRUP IF FLAVOURING AND INCREASE WATER OR ADD COCONUT OIL

YOU COULD ADD IN CHIA SEEDS/SPIRULINA/CACAO ETC FOR ADDED NUTRITION BUT I WANTED TO KEEP THESE SIMPLE
