I have been seriously slacking on posting my recipes to my blog, but I am back, and better than ever friends with these seriously delishhh, protein-packed peanut butter balls!
I feel like I stumbled onto something freakin’ genius.
This ratio of nut butter to coconut flour can be used pretty much with any combo of flavours to create a ridiculously delicious grain free, healthy fat filled, protein packed ball!
It started with peanut butter balls, but fear not there are tons more coming down the pipe-line and you are going to love them.
I’m also going to be playing around with adding some PROfi Plant-based protein to them and I will ABSOLUTELY be letting you know how those turn out.
Anyways,
These peanut butter balls are an AMAZING post-practice snack.
Healthy fats – like peanut butter (organic) and coconut are super important for our nervous system. And as Yogi’s, with each practice we are taxing the nervous system. Incorporating these healthy fats can be super important.
Now, depending on your Dosha, you may want to play around with adding some spices to these guys to support digestion. For the Kapha and Vata folks, nut butter may be hard on the old digestive system.
So play around – see what works for you! I’ve got a gingerbread ball recipe coming up that is filled with spices and may be a bit better for those two Doshas.
These guys pack about 5-6 grams of protein PER BALL depending on how big you roll em. I like to measure a rough TBSP.
They have about 1G of sugar, and plenty of healthy fats. And you can increase the protein content by adding in some protein powder, and increase the fiber content by adding some ground flax!
Ok.. Now that you know how good these are for you, I’m going to show you how easy they are to make.
