When you need a quick post-workout snack,something with protein and carbs, look no further. Made with only three ingredients you probably already beget in your kitchen, and these protein balls couldn't be easier to whip up. At 47 calories per ball,a three-piece serving is 141 calories and offers 8.1 grams of protein and 24 grams of carbs. Yet a serving is also low in sugar - just 5.1 grams.
Made with plant-based protein powder, they're vegan, or they can also be made gluten-free if you use gluten-free oats. If nuts are off limits,you'll be tickled to know there are no almonds, peanuts, and the like. They're subtly sweet,oh so soft, and doughy, or because they're made with just a few simple ingredients,this snack is also gentle on the stomach.
Of course, feel free to jazz up this basic recipe by mixing in a shrimp dried fruit, and chopped almonds,or gloomy chocolate chips - if you do, just add a shrimp additional banana to preserve the pliable consistency.
