Protein Balls to Keep You Going

Protein balls are compact, nutrient-dense snacks packed with protein, healthy fats, and fiber. They require no baking and can be customized with your favorite ingredients. Here are some ways you can eat them

• Mini protein cheesecake

Smash our lemon and blueberry protein ball into a small container, layer with a mixture of greek yogurt and cream cheese, top with fresh bluberries and set in the fridge. Guilt free dessert is served!

• Chocolate Galore

Sometimes we need extra decadence and it's best to indulge (not binge!) instead of restricting. Melt your chocolate of choice and dip in our Cocoa & Date balls. Yum!

• Straight out the box

Easiest way is to munch whenever you need. Pre/post excercise, at your desk, with a coffee at home.

Protein balls last for up to 6/8 weeks and can be frozen for longer storage.

Granola Bowls for Breakfast or Dessert

Granola bowls are a no-cook, high-nutrient option that works well for breakfast or a healthy dessert. Start with a base of your favorite granola, then add:

• Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt for protein

• Fresh or dried fruits for vitamins and natural sweetness

• Nuts and seeds for healthy fats and crunch

• A drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra flavor

  
  

For a dessert twist, swap yogurt for a dollop of ricotta or cottage cheese and add a sprinkle of cinnamon or cocoa powder. Granola bowls are easy to prepare in minutes and can be customized to suit your taste and dietary needs.

Using Apple Pie Porridge Mix for Healthy Snacks

Our apple pie porridge mix is a versatile pantry staple that goes beyond breakfast porridge. It can be used to make:

• Muffins

Combine the porridge mix with eggs, a little oil, and baking powder. Bake for 15-20 minutes for wholesome muffins that are perfect on the go.

• Oat Style Cookies

Mix the porridge base with mashed banana or applesauce, add raisins or nuts, and bake until golden. These cookies are a healthier alternative to traditional sweets.

These snacks provide fiber, natural sweetness, and the comforting flavors of apple and cinnamon without added sugars or artificial ingredients. They are ideal for busy days when you want something homemade but quick.
