Peanut Butter Protein Balls
What's great about it
These protein balls take about 5 minutes to make and are the perfect portable breakfast, snack or quick lunch if you're a mover and shaker on the go! They remind me a little of no-cook Anzac biscuits and are packed with rolled oats, coconut, dates, Healthy Chef Protein + your choice of nut butter. For these ones I've used peanut butter but feel free to use whatever nut butter you have in the fridge. They are also perfect to pack into the back of a cycling jersey as an energy snack for those times when you need a pick me up.
