We’ve got down a straightforward recipe that you can re-design to your heart’s content. Use your favourite nut butter and protein powder, or mix in chocolate chips, or raisins — his protein ball recipe is the perfect way to make snacks exciting again with all your favourite flavours.

After taste, it’s all about nutrition — that’s why oats are a vital part of this protein balls recipe. They have a low glycaemic index, which means no sugar spike and crash, just a slow release of energy to keep you feeling on top form between meals.

If you know anything about post-workout nutrition, then you’ll know that it’s worth packing in protein for muscle recovery. So, stir in your favourite flavour of Impact Whey Protein — there’s plenty to choose from. We love Chocolate Smooth, or Banoffee for a sweet treat that’ll keep you on track at snack time.
