[…] wonderful Vicki from Honest Mum posted this a while back and I can tell you, these were scrummy. Honest Mum’s No Bake Protein Chocolate & Mint Balls. The reason these are so good is because we need protein and these are a quick and tasty way of […]
Fab looking recipe. We are making some date and almond protein balls to help me with my progress after weight loss. I’ll have to give these ones a try in future. The mint and honey sounds good.
Oh wow, they sound amazing. I can’t eat nuts but know my husband would love yours! Yum x
Wow what a great idea and I’ve been looking at ways to consume more protein.
I’m allergic to chocolate with Cocoa in and wonder if they would work with white chocolate?
I might try White chocolate and dried raspberries with the coconut and see how they come out.
Oh yes reckon they would, oh your variation sounds divine, let me know x
Look so scrumptious and love the plate too – perfect food photography styling! xx
Thanks Sarah 🙂 x
These sound really yummy. Where can I get coconut oil – supermarket or do I need to go somewhere like H&B?
Thanks, I get mine in Holland & Barrett, not seen it in the supermarket but sure they stock it, go for raw, virgin coconut oil if you can x
Ooo these look yummy and so easy to make. I love anything that I can use my new favourite coconut oil for too! Thanks for making the GIF – made me chuckle 🙂 xx
Hehe glad you liked it! Getting a bit obsessed with Gifs here x
These look great. Not keen on protein powders after seeing part of a documentary the others day and increase in kidney stones in users, but reckon I could adapt. I do love mint and chocolate flavours.
Really need to look at that, this is an all natural protein powder so no rubbish x
