S'MORES PROTEIN BALLS MAKES 22 BALLS

INGREDIENTS • ½ cup/125g Natural Peanut Butter, chunky • ¼ cup/85g Honey • ¾ cup/80g Chocolate Whey Protein • ¾ cup/20g Puffed Rice • 3 tbsp Mini Marshmallows, chopped into small pieces • ½ cup/70g Carob Chips unsweetened, melted • 1 tsp Canola Oil • ½ cup/3 tbsp Graham Cracker Crumbs METHOD 1. In a bowl, mix together peanut butter and honey. 2. Add in the whey protein puffed rice and marshmallows, mix together with your

hands, pressing it all together. It should be slightly crumbly, but it will come together when pressed into balls. 3. Take a small amount of mixture and squeeze into balls. 4. Then melt the chocolate you're using with the oil to thin out the chocolate a bit. I melted it in a small bowl in the microwave. In 30 second increments. Stirring after each 30 seconds. For me, it only took 60 seconds. 5. Dip each ball in the chocolate and spread the chocolate with your fingers around the ball. It will get a bit messy. You don't want the chocolate dripping on the ball or else it will make a mess of your crumbs. 6. Once the ball is spread with chocolate, roll in the graham crumbs. 7. Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Can also be frozen.
