Does what it says on the tin! These energy balls are not only a great, natural source of energy but also use ingredients high in omega 3 fats and magnesium, so you can nourish yourself while feeding a craving.
For the healthy fats/omegas I used ingredients such as walnuts, chia and hemp protein, you can also add shelled hemp seeds as a topping too if you like plus dark chocolate which not many people know can be a good source of magnesium. Brands will differ due to which one you choose & also how dark regarding the chocolate coating. A basic cacao powder will be high and the one I used per 100g has around 166% of RDA magnesium (thought the RDA will differ between men & women). A few squares of 85% dark choc can be a good portion of your RDA ticked off too so I used both in this recipe. Chia seeds & cashews also contain magnesium.

This healthy plant protein, cookie dough bowl is high in fiber and high in protein with dark chocolate for a bit of indulgence, plus it’s much better than store bought and great for after a workout!
You can also smoosh this together into one big serving rather than rolling into individual bits
Made using healthy, natural ingredients plus if you use a probiotic yogurt then it’s good for your gut too.
Note: This won’t work with whey protein as its not as absorbent as plant protein so it wont bind

Who said carrot cake had to be unhealthy?
These breakfast carrot cake muffins are packed with fiber, goodness and spices plus low in added sugar!
They’re great for batch cooking so that you have brekkie covered for a few days, they go really well with some nut butter and you can decide how sweet you want them!
Plus they contain lots of nutrition from both fruit & veg and have a decent amount of anti-inflammatory spices in them for good measure!

This is my selection of snacks that aren’t filled with chicory inulin as some people can’t tolerate lots of prebiotics without symptoms and it seems like it’s in everything these days!
Every protein bar i pick up seems to have a tonne of chicory in it which means anyone sensitive to this ingredient cant eat an entire bar and so will need to find a different option. Here’s a rundown of the ones I like and use regularly.
Boostballs: These contain natural ingredients for sweetness and protein so don’t contain refined sugar and the keto version is good too, they do have some acacia gum fiber but its not triggering like chicory so I also love those ones too
Find at Holland and barrett or Boots, Superdrug etc

So this recipe is exactly what it says on the tin. Protein powder (plant version) mixed with crumbled up cookie/biscuit and shaped in a cupcake tin then topped with chocolate.
You can adapt this with whatever you like, some suggestions I got on my insta stories were raisins or popping a berry in the middle or on top etc.
