Vegan Snickers Protein Balls
All you need is 5 simple ingredients you'll have these amazing 5-minute vegan Snickers protein balls. A quick and easy snack packed with protein inspired by the candy bar we all know and love!
Servings: 10 protein balls
Ingredients
- ½ cup peanut butter softened in the microwave *see below
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoon cocoa powder
- ¼ cup chocolate protein powder *see above for my favourite
- ¼ cup peanuts chopped + more for sprinkling
- melted chocolate *optional, for drizzling
Instructions
- In a small microwave safe bowl add peanut butter and microwave for 15 seconds. This helps soften the peanut butter to make it runnier!
- In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, maple syrup, cocoa powder, protein powder and chopped peanuts.
- Roll into about 10 protein balls. Drizzle with melted chocolate and sprinkle with additional chopped peanuts (I also like to sprinkle mine with a little added cocoa powder).
- Store in the fridge or freezer and enjoy!
