Protein balls with chia, goji and almonds
These balls are the best-kept secret for chocolate and nut lovers, if I ever want a chocolate fix this is my go-to recipe. You can swap and change ingredients to your desired taste however, I like to use almonds, dates, goji and chia mainly because they are all superfoods and not only are you getting a healthy ‘sugar fix’ but you’re getting a bomb of vitamins and minerals:
Packed with goodness
- Coconut oil is packed full of healthy fats and improves digestion as well as weight loss, especially around the abdominal region.
- Almonds are a great source of protein, vitamin E, magnesium and fibre. They are also perfect on their own as an in between snack between meals to get rid of any unwanted hunger.
- Goji’s are full of antioxidants, fibre and vitamin C!
- Dates are a good sugar replacement because they’re still crammed with vitamins and minerals and easy for the body digest yet still give a sugary kick.
- Chia seeds are full of omega 3 fatty acids, fibre and protein.
Combine all these ingredients and you have yourself one MEGA protein, vitamin and mineral bomb which tastes absolutely delicious!
