You may be starting to think that we’re bonkers for protein powder, but we just can’t stop finding new and exciting ways to use it in the kitchen.

These are a much healthier alternative to shop bought truffles and the flavour opportunities are endless! We’re definitely bringing these to the Christmas table this year…

Ingredients

• 1/2 a cup of natural, unsweetened nut or seed butter
• 3 tablespoons of honey
• 2/3 of a cup of vanilla or chocolate whey protein powder
• Fillings (Some suggestions: chocolate chips, almonds, walnuts, pistachios, hazelnuts, sesame seeds, chia seeds, cherries, apricots, matcha powder)
• Coconut flakes

Combine the butter, honey and protein powder into a large mixing bowl. Then mix three teaspoons of any of the above ingredients into the mixture, once combined, roll into small bit-sized balls.

You can then finish them off nicely by rolling them into the coconut flakes- don’t they just look so Christmassy?
