Salted Caramel Protein Balls

High in protein, high in energy, and high in taste. You won’t want to miss these energy-boosting protein balls!

Who would have thought that combining salt with caramel would have created such a fantastic taste sensation? Some food combinations just work together. We don’t know why, and we don’t question it, we simply just go with it and enjoy the ride. The problem with regular caramel however, is the fact that it’s made from pure refined sugar and is often enriched with artery-clogging cream and dairy. Refined sugar is notoriously bad for you as it can lead to spikes in insulin, unstable blood glucose levels, sugar crashes, rotten teeth, hormonal imbalances, and plenty more besides. The good news is that Mother Nature has been so kind as to provide you with her own natural ingredients for sweetness instead, which taste equally good if not better, and are much better for you.

If you’re looking for a sweet, delicious, high protein snack food that can be enjoyed on the go, these salted caramel protein balls are perfect. Containing sweet and nutritious dates (in moderation of course) loaded full of natural goodness, along with salted caramel flavour vegan protein, omega-3 enriched chia seeds that promote cognitive and cardiovascular health, and natural oats, these balls are the perfect fitness snack. For those of you looking for slow and sustained energy, along with beneficial nutrients and muscle-building proteins and amino acids, you’ll love these salted caramel protein balls.

Enjoy as an energy-boosting pre-workout snack, or simply as a treat when you’re feeling peckish
