These Cinnamon-Cacao-Almond Butter Protein Balls are a complete, delicious energy snack – great between meals and on extended outings. Amaze-Balls combine Alter+Whey protein with healthy fats and fiber (to slow digestion and prolong energy), cinnamon (to balance blood sugar), and cacao (a minor stimulant and strong antioxidant).
Mix in a large bowl:
- 1/3 cup natural/raw almond butter
- 1/4 cup honey (or 5-10 drops stevia)
- 4 Tbsp Alter+Whey
- 3 Tbsp ground flax seed
- 3 Tbsp raw cacao nibs (or chocolate chips)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
Roll into 10 balls (~1 heaping tablespoon each), then refrigerate to make them firm.
Each ball contains ~5-6 grams protein.
