Craving a sweet treat that satisfies your taste buds and supports your fitness goals? Look no further than these Cookie Dough Protein Balls! Packed with plant-based protein and the nostalgic flavor of classic cookie dough, these no-bake bites are perfect for a quick snack or post-workout fuel.

Ingredients:

• ½ cup all-natural almond butter

• ¼ cup agave syrup

• ½ cup finely chopped raw almonds or almond flakes

• 2½ scoops vegan vanilla protein powder (e.g., Vega Vanilla Protein Powder)

• 2 tablespoons mini semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips, or 1 tablespoon cacao powder

Instructions:

1. Mix It Up: In a medium bowl, combine the almond butter, agave syrup, chopped almonds, protein powder, and chocolate chips or cacao powder. Stir until the mixture is well combined and resembles cookie dough.

2. Roll Into Balls: Using your hands, roll the mixture into 14 equal-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter each. Place them on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

3. Chill: Refrigerate the protein balls for at least 15 minutes to firm up. Once set, transfer them to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Tips:

• Customise Your Flavour: Feel free to substitute almond butter with your favorite nut or seed butter, such as peanut butter or sunflower seed butter, to suit your taste preferences.

• Add Some Crunch: For extra texture, consider rolling the protein balls in crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or even a dusting of cocoa powder before chilling.

• Sweetness Level: Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less agave syrup, or substitute with maple syrup or honey if preferred.
