Keto-Friendly Protein Balls
Posted by Natalie Jean on
I've been playing in the kitchen again (big surprise, right?) and have been able to perfect this beauty of a recipe for Keto-Friendly Protein bites. I love the silkiness of the texture, mixed with a little crunch of sunflower seed, it's the perfect little on-the-go snack that also satisfies the belly.
For the protein powder, (Ok, I've fallen in love with using "odd" ingredients) I love the nutrient profile of the nutrilite. All those wonderful amino acids and the goodness that comes with them when you pull from a variety of plant sources, without a bunch of sugars or starches. I don't get a heavy Stevia taste from it either, which is fantastic, seeing I pretty much hate Stevia.

It can be hard to find, let me know if you want some, I'll bring it in.

1/3 C Sunflower Seeds
1/3 c Almond Butter
1 Tbsp Coconut Oil, or Butter
2 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
1 Scoop Nutrilite All-Plant Protein Powder

1/2 Tsp Vanilla
Directions:
1. Mix Sunflower Seeds, Almond Butter, and oil in bowl and microwave until fats are melted
2. Mix in Cocoa and Protein Powder until smooth

Enjoy!
