Lemon Sesame Seed Protein Balls

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.
