Lemon Sesame Seed Protein Balls

There's more where this came from!

Ingredients

  1. 185g (one heaping cup) of dried, pitted dates
  2. 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds
  3. 25g (1/4 cup) of pistachios
  4. Juice of 1/3 lemon
  5. 2 tablespoons of agave syrup
  6. 30g (1/3 cup) of gluten-free rolled oats
  7. 2 teaspoons of Pulsin’ Organic Sunflower Protein Powder (or your favorite protein powder)

The pistachio and seeds in these protein-rich snacks add texture and depth to the recipe, and the very subtle zest from the lemon brings it all together.

Method

  • Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper and evenly spread out the oats. Place in the oven on the middle tray for about 5-7 minutes or until the oats become golden brown in colour.
  • While the oats are happily toasting away, start to chop the dates until they become a paste like consistency.
  • Roughly chop the pistachios.
  • Next, mix together the chopped dates with the agave syrup, seeds, pistachios and protein powder.
  • Lastly, stir in the toasted oats and the fresh lemon juice.
  • Roll the mixture together into balls and store in the fridge in an air tight container.
