Coconut and Macadamia Protein Balls

Posted 2015-12-24 by Annalisa Brown ⇒ follow

These home made are inspired two fold by my love for Ferrero Rocher’s Raffaello Chocolates and Bounce’s Protein Balls .

They taste amazingly similar to Raffaello Chocolates (only without the sugar and saturated fats) and unlike the Bounce version contain no stabilisers or agave, which is extremely high in fructose.

I’ll be serving these Protein Balls as an alternative to petite fours on Christmas day – a wonderfully guilt free way to finish off what will invariably be an indulgent Yuletide of food and drink.

make wonderfully healthy energy snacks, gifts or enjoyed as an alternative to petite fours.
