Protein powder can be used not only for shakes, but also as an excellent binding base for energy balls, which are convenient to snack before workout. Along with 5 grams of protein in each of these candy, you will get a serving of vegetable fats and carbohydrates from peanut butter and dark chocolate.

Ingredients:

• ¾ cup (190 g) peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon almond flour
• ½ cup protein powder
• 15 ml of water or milk;
• 20 g of dark chocolate.

The first step is to crush the chocolate. You can also use ready-made chocolate or cocoa chips.

Mix protein powder with almond flour. You can replace almond flour with any nut flour or a similar amount of whole grain flour. True, the latter can be slightly bitter in the finished delicacy.

Add peanut butter or any peanut butter and mix everything together.

Add liquid to the resulting mixture - water or milk. While mixing, focus on your own feelings: if the mixture is dry and crumbles when you try to make a ball out of it, then add more liquid, otherwise add flour or protein.

When the pasta is done, mix it with the chocolate chips and roll into small balls. Send them to the freezer for about an hour, then transfer to a container and store in the refrigerator.
