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.
