Serves 12 balls
Ingredients
Easy Fat Balls
- 1 cup walnuts
- ½ cup almonds
- 3 tbsp vegan protein blend
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 5-10 drops liquid stevia
- Pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
- Put your walnuts, almonds and flax seeds in a high-speed blender or food processor and blend to create a crumbly texture.
- Add the vegan protein blend, peanut butter, stevia drops and cinnamon along with a spritz of water and process again. Stop to scrape down the sides as needed and add more water until your batter is completely combined.
- Transfer into a bowl and place, covered, in the fridge for around 30 minutes to allow the batter to firm up.
- Once the time has elapsed, remove your bowl from the fridge and use your wetted hands to form little balls.
- Place them next to each other on a parchment paper-lined plate or container and enjoy immediately or store in the refrigerator.
Notes
- The vegan fat balls keep well in the fridge for around a week and can be frozen for at least 6 months (wrap them individually!)
- You can use any nuts, seeds and nut butter of your choice.
- The amount of stevia drops depends on the exact product you’re using as well as your sweet tooth!
