Power Protein Treats!

I have been looking for some high protein treats that I can eat that satisfy my sweet tooth and have stumbled across this great recipe from Body Science! I have started using the product Hydro Burn as a protein shake and have also found some great recipes that I can add it to. This is one is Chocolate Protein Balls:

500g dates
1 cup of water
200g LSA (Linseed, sunflower and almond mill)
3 scoops hydroxyburn chocolate protein powder
150g desiccated coconut
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons tahini

Boil the dates in the 1 cup of water until soft and water is evaporated. Leave to cool.

In a bowl combine the LSA, hydroxyburn, coco powder, tahini and the dates. Combine all these ingredients well. Shape into walnut size balls and roll in the coconut then place in a container and leave to chill in the fridge until firm.

A good little something to eat when feeling a little hungry between meals, and great for afternoon hunger pang as the protein makes you feel fuller and you still get the sweet taste that we always seem to want!
