Peanut Butter Choc Protein Balls [Easter Special]

Happy Easter Everyone 🐣

Last year I did not get to enjoy any bit of Easter celebration, so I guess I am catching up on it this year with a lots of `good baking` and experimenting with the ingredients.

This is my original self made recipe and this was my first attempt on making it, and all of it turned out OH so GOOD! I should put a trademark on it 💁

My creation - inspired by my addiction to peanut butter and being in a great Easter mood.

PEANUT BUTTER CHOC PROTEIN BALLS

My special ingredients:

• PbFit Powdered Peanut Butter - 4 Tbsp. mixed with water to form normal peanut butter like texture [less fat, less problems] alternatively you can use your regular peanut butter;
• Sweet Freedom Fruit Syrup - 2 Tbsp. alternatively you can use honey;
• Vanilla Extract - 1tbsp;
• Pinch of Salt
• Protein Powder - 60g which is 2 serving scoops [preferably peanut butter or chocolate flavored];
• Cocoa Powder - 2 Tbsp.
• Optional - Sweet Freedom Choc Pot, Pop Sticks and decoration wafers.

How to make these gooey balls?

• Start with mixing together peanut butter, fruit syrup, vanilla extract and salt.
• After that is mixed together, add protein powder and cocoa. Mix with spatula at the beginning, but at the end it will be easier to finish off with your hands.

Peanut butter powder mixed with water. The right texture for it.

First part of the ingredients mixed together.

Last two ingredients added at the end.

Finished dough.

• After that is done, split the dough up in to 8 about the same sized balls and if wanted, put the sticks in as well. Let them chill in the fridge for about an hour.

•  The very last step is to add the decorations of your choice. I preferred to dip the balls in some extra chocolate - Sweet Freedom Choc Pot is amaaaazing, 14 calories per serving!

I did my nutritional calculations and compared them to some other protein balls you can get from the shop. Have a look!

No nasty's:

💚 Calories per ball - 54 cal without the decoration part

[if you followed the recipe and did everything as written]

💚 Protein per ball - 7.5g

💚 Fats per ball - 1.4g [so low, makes me so happy]

💚 Sugars per ball - 3.6g [and this one 😍]

This truly is an amazing Guilt Free treat you can have over Easter. Who needs them chocolate eggs anymore?! Not me.

I compared these to the UK`s popular `Bounce` protein energy balls and here`s the difference:

• `Bounce`- 184 calories, 13g protein, 7.1g fats and 13g sugars per one 45g ball.

Lastly, I just want to mention how very proud I am of myself. This is proper #recipegoals 😅💪

Be ready to enjoy every bite of it ❤
