Description

These delightful protein balls are a symphony of textures and flavors, packed with nutrient-rich seeds, nuts, and wholesome fats, making them an excellent snack any time of day. Imagine biting into a treat where the satisfying crunch of pumpkin and sunflower seeds mingles with the subtle nutty sweetness of ground almonds. The addition of chia seeds not only boosts the nutritional profile but also contributes to the delightful texture.

Dried cranberries provide a burst of chewy sweetness that perfectly complements the nutty base. These aren't just ingredients thrown together; they're carefully chosen to create a harmonious blend that excites the palate. The base of almond butter and coconut oil binds these ingredients together, creating a moist and flavorful treat while providing essential fats.

For those who prefer a richer flavor profile, melted unsalted butter can be used in place of coconut oil, lending a deeper, more decadent taste to the protein balls. The cranberries offer a welcome touch of sweetness and chewiness, creating a delightful contrast to the other ingredients. Each bite is a journey of flavors, from the earthy nuts and seeds to the sweet and tangy cranberries.

If you prefer a less sweet option, unsweetened chocolate chips can replace the cranberries, offering a different flavor profile that is equally satisfying. These protein balls are incredibly versatile. They can be enjoyed as a quick breakfast, a midday snack, or a post-workout energy boost.

Their compact size makes them perfect for on-the-go snacking, fitting easily into a lunchbox or gym bag. Whether you're looking for a healthy treat or a convenient source of energy, these protein balls are sure to become a favorite. Their blend of textures and flavors is simply irresistible.

Instructions

    1.
    In a food processor, combine the pumpkin, chia, and sunflower seeds with ground almonds and erythritol. Pulse until the seeds are broken down into small chunks and the mixture is well combined. Transfer this crumbly nut mixture to a mixing bowl.
    2.
    Add the almond butter, melted coconut oil, and cinnamon to the mixing bowl containing the seed mixture. Mix thoroughly until well combined. The mixture should start to resemble a dough and hold its shape.
    3.
    Roughly chop the dried cranberries and add them to the nut mixture. Stir well to ensure the cranberries are evenly distributed throughout.
    4.
    Divide the mixture into 10 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball using your hands and arrange them on a plate or small tray. Transfer the plate to the fridge and let the protein balls set for at least 1 hour until firm. Once set, store in an airtight container until ready to enjoy.
