Chocolate Peanut Butter Bliss Balls

Bliss balls 2 (1 of 1)One thing I get asked for all the time is protein balls recipes. I think calling these ‘protein balls’ is a bit of a stretch since they actually contain very little protein (like most other ‘protein balls’!), but, that doesn’t mean they aren’t still a really nutritious snack. If you’re a sweet tooth like me one or two of these little gems – full of oats, dried fruit and nuts with no added sugar – to get you through the afternoon is a much healthier option than a coffee and a biscuit, and I think they taste even better! After all, perfect matches don’t get much more perfect than chocolate and peanut butter….

Plus –  if recipes were ranked according to their effort:reward ratios, this one would be right up the top. 10 or 15 minutes is about all it take to whip up a batch that can last you and a lucky plus 1 for a whole week.Bliss balls 3 (1 of 1)Ingredients (makes 20):
1 cup rolled oats
2/3 cup pitted dates
1/2 cup walnuts
2 tablespoons peanut butter
2 tablespoons cocoa
3 tablespoons milk powder (optional)

Method:

  • Place all ingredients into a food processor and process until fine.
  • Roll spoonfuls of mixture into balls (if the mixture is too dry, just add a little water), then roll in desiccated coconut or cocoa (spread over a plate) or just leave as they are
  • Refrigerate for around an hour or until firm.

The Perfect Breakfast: Homemade Toasted Muesli

muesliMuesli is one of the best breakfasts going around. Its got plenty of low GI carbohydrates and fibre thanks to the oats and dried fruit, plus protein and healthy fats from the nuts and seeds – everything you want in a super healthy breakfast.

But while muesli tastes great, there’s something about the crunchiness of toasted muesli which is even better. Unfortunately, commercially made toasted muesli is usually full of added sugar, fat and salt – not exactly the basis of a healthy breakfast. But this doesn’t mean you have to go back to the raw stuff.

Making your own toasted muesli is not only amazingly satisfying, it also means you can add in all your favourite ingredients and you know exactly what’s in it. Plus, you can make up a big batch to last you a few weeks – an activity guaranteed to leave you feeling virtuous on a Sunday afternoon. [Read More…]
