Chocolate Cinnamon Spice Protein Balls
Try out these no bake Chocolate Cinnamon Spice Protein Balls. I know you won’t be disappointed, because I can not keep these around for more than a day. They go so quick. Not only do children love these but adults snatch these up in a minute. Make them for your children’s next sleep over or BBQ and you will see them disappear.
This is one of the easiest no bake recipes that I have made. Great to make on a hot day when you do not want to turn the oven on in the house. After you make them put them in the refrigerator to harden up and then they really keep their shape and are easy to hold or transport in a bag without being messy. I have made these for outside BBQ’s, road trips and camping as well. They have always been a hit with people watching their protein intake. They will definitely pick these Chocolate Cinnamon Spice Protein Balls over celery and carrots sticks.
When I first made these protein balls I did not realize how much protein there really was in each round morsel. Each ball is a little over 4 grams of protein. (I like using Earth Chimp Vegan Protein Shake Mix powder. They have the highest ratings for having the least amount of metals in their produce. Loaded with probiotics! Plus, they help with removing plastics from our oceans and planting trees. Big Kudo’s to this company from Dublin Ireland. Check them out!) This batch of Chocolate Cinnamon Spice Protein Balls makes about 20 to 21 balls. All depending on the size that you want them or the size of your hand. I make them into a ball in the middle of my hand and roll them between my palms. Make sure not to press too hard because they will crumble a little.
I made these with a little added spice to spruce up the chocolate flavor and make them a little different then the average chocolate protein balls. Although, you can make these in such a variety of ways. I will be making some different ones in the future so stay tuned for more updated versions. As for now enjoy these Chocolate Cinnamon Spice Protein Balls
