This recipe is especially for anyone asking are protein balls good for you.

It can be hard to believe that anything so chocolaty and tasty can actually be good for you right? I mean, what is the the catch?

The answer is yes, protein balls can be good for you.

However, this also dependent on the ingredients that are added to the protein balls.
Obviously, these protein balls, or bites as I call them, should be eaten in moderation and as part of a healthy diet for them to be considered part of a healthy diet.

 

You may also be asking what are protein balls made of.

This recipe calls for sugar free almond butter. I have a recipe for sugar free almond butter which you can use or you can purchase your own almond butter.

This recipe also calls for almond meal.

Almond meal is made from ground up raw almonds that still have their skins. Please note that almond flour on the other hand, is made from ground up blanched almonds and is a different product in texture as well.
 

Here are some tips for making protein balls.

I mentioned above that this recipe calls for almond butter which you can make yourself or you can purchase your own almond butter . Also mentioned is that this recipe calls for almond meal (not almond flour) that make for a great texture.

Here are some more helpful tips.

1. Use a scoop such as one of these, to scoop batter into to keep the ball sizes similar.
2. Yes, you can try using another nut butter instead of the almond butter. However, I have not tried doing so and as a result, cannot tell you if it will taste better doing so.
3. Lightly spray or hands with a bit of nonstick to help keep the balls from sticking to them when you roll the balls into shape.
4. Make the batter a head of time and freeze or refrigerate to roll it into balls.
5. Make these to give out as holiday gifts to your friends and family.
6. Use these candy wrappers or small liners or cups like these to make yours look more professional!
7. This recipe calls for Maple Syrup as a sweetener. Sugar free folks can use a sugar free maple syrup which you can find here.

 

This recipe gets even better when you add extra ingredients to the mix.

• Add chopped nuts for a great crunch!
• Add an extract such as rum extract or mint extract for additional flavor.
• You can give your bites another healthy twist by rolling them in granola or oats.
