Recipe: Peanut Butter Bliss Balls

Peanut Butter Bliss Balls

There are so many different recipe for bliss balls, but this is one of my favourite ones as I LOVE peanut butter! This only requires 4 ingredients and so easy to make. The best thing about healthy bliss balls is getting them packed full of protein and having them for a healthy treat for yourself and also for the kid's lunch boxes. 

Ingredients: 

1 cup of wholemeal quick oats

3 scoops of Gold Standard Chocolate protein powder (you can use any protein)

1/3 cup Mavvers Peanut Butter (use any natural peanut butter)

2 tablespoons of raw organic honey

Add water as needed (these balls should be sticky but easy to roll)

Method:

All you need to do is add all ingredients together in a blender until mixed through, add more water as needed to get the desired texture. You could always add extra honey or peanut butter but be aware these two ingredients are high in calories. 

Take a dessert spoon and scoop out enough to fill the spoon and roll into bite size balls. This recipe will make 10 balls depending on the size.

Store in a container in the fridge or freezer and enjoy.
