Salted Caramel and Macadamia Protein Balls (GF/DF)


For all you salted caramel lovers out there, this is the perfect snack for you. I'd make a bunch of these when uni was getting tough and I don't know if they helped with the stress, but they certainly helped me with the sugar cravings.


You will need: 

  • 1/2 cup almond meal
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 serve salted caramel protein (I use the White Wolf Nutrition or bRaw brand)
  • Pinch of salt (optional)
  • 3 tbsp almond butter
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 2 handfuls macadamias 


Method: 

  1. Sieve almond meal, cinnamon and protein powder into a large bowl and mix lightly. Add a pinch of salt (optional) if you want that extra saltiness.
  2. Add the remainder of ingredients besides the macadamias, and stir until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed through. (If you find that the mixture is too dry, add a splash of water. Too wet? Add more almond meal.) 
  3. Scoop out mixture into tablespoon sized balls, and place a macadamia nut in the centre before rolling into ball shape.
  4. Crush remaining macadamias with a knife and dice well, and use this to decorate the balls.
  5. Pop them into the freezer for at least an hour (or overnight if that's easier)


And that's it! Easy as.
