These tasty, vegetarian protein balls make the perfect lunchtime snack. They are bite sized and fit easily into a lunch box, or picnic basket. To serve, just add a little mayonnaise and/or salad with dressing and enjoy. I used tri-color quinoa for this recipe, but you could also use plain quinoa - it is available from major supermarkets in the health food section.
