using VITUS Vegan Protein are no different. With 97% organic, vegan protein

ball recipe will be at the top of your list when looking for a

Makes: 24 large protein balls
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats
- 1 banana
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil (melted and
slightly cooled)
- ¼ cup almond butter
- ¼ cup unsweetened shredded
coconut
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ cup dark chocolate, chopped
into chunks (we love the
Loving
Earth
range!)
- 4 serves VITUS
Pure Plant Sourced Vegan Protein
(or any other plain, unflavoured protein you might have on hand)
Method:
In a large bowl, mash the banana and add
the coconut oil and almond butter and stir to combine. Add shredded coconut,
rolled oats and VITUS Vegan Protein. Stir together while adding water slowly.
The amount of water needed may vary according to mixture composition. Once you
have a firm mixture, fold in your choice of chopped
dark chocolate chunks.
Roll the mixture into balls of desired size
and place in a sealable container lined with parchment paper. Place the protein
balls in the freezer for an hour to set. Once set, remove from the freezer and
keep stored in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
Healthy
tip:
Use your favourite nuts, seeds or dried
fruit in place of chocolate chips for a nutritious alternative.
