Containing over 10g protein each, these tasty little low carb treats not only kept my body physically in check, but also kept my outrageous appetite (I eat with my eyes when let loose) under tight wraps! From maintaining energy levels, to curbing those devilish hunger and/or sweet-tooth cravings, they turned out to be a complete saviour.

| A crazy early morning rush to the airport (due to the bride sleeping in and being late to her own hen!), meant there was no time to search for a healthy breakfast before jumping on the aeroplane, so I popped one of my protein balls into the porridge pot that was available on board! |
These are so handy and perfect as a 'grab-and-go' for those early mornings when time is of an issue to get to work, or simply as a healthy tea-time snack or treat. The natural healthy fats and protein from the peanut butter and whey, provide the slow and sustained energy supply you need first thing in the morning. This combination ensures any sugar/energy crashes are kept at bay unlike the typical breakfast cereals and unhealthy tea-time treats are famously synonymous with! So overall, an all round great, versatile, and healthy go-to for any time of the day!
Ingredients:
5 scoops of Reflex Chocolate Peanut Butter whey*
5 scoops of Reflex Natural Vanilla whey
100g Natural Crunchy Peanut Butter*
Roughly 50ml water
5g Vanilla casein (for frosting/decoration)
1. Thoroughly combine the chocolate peanut butter and natural whey together
2. Stir the peanut butter into the whey with a wooden spoon (it will still be quite powdery at this point)
3. Gradually add around 5-10 drops of water at a time whilst combining the ingredients to form a big ball of 'dough' (I found using my hands to combine the mixture a lot easier and more effective at this point!). Be careful not to add too much water or else the mixture will become too sticky and difficult to store and mould. The dough ball should be quite dry and just hold together!
4. Once you have your ball of dough, equally divide them into 10 pieces and mould them with your hands into little balls (mine weighed around 30g each). You should notice that the moisture from the water and natural oils from the peanut butter start to seep out and help hold it together and allow the 'frosting' to stick.
5. Place your casein powder onto a plate or bowl, then roll the protein balls around in them until evenly coated to finish off prettifying your delicious peanutty snowball treats!
Makes 10 snowballs.
Macro breakdown per Peanut Butter Protein Snowball:
108 kcal, 13.2g Protein, 5.2g Fat, 2g Carb, 1.3g Fiber
Tips:
Add a teaspoon or two of Creative Nature Cacao powder for a deliciously richer and even more nutritious chocolatey treat! (Use my code GC15 to receive 15% off your order!)
*You don't have to use these flavours of whey, peanut butter, or even casein! Why not try almond butter or cashew butter, a different flavour whey, and a different frosting for variety or as an alternative healthy treat!
Storage: Best kept in the fridge.
