Serves: At least one muscly chick for a week

Who would have ever thought I would type up a protein ball recipe?

Times are a changing here at Chez Robert and among chopped carrots, chopped salads and salmon dinners, we now have homemade protein balls.

They taste bloody great – like cookie dough – and they’re not expensive to make unlike the stuff you can buy in the supermarket and fitness shops.

Chop and change the accouterments to include anything from walnuts, coconut and chocolate chips or go with my additions of raisins, flax and oats.

Just don’t over-protein yourself and explode in protein flames.

I tripled the recipe to make 12 balls of power and suggest you do too muscle girl.

Ingredients

96gm (3 scoops) vanilla whey protein powder
6 tbsp honey or maple syrup
6 tbsp natural peanut butter
2 tbsp flax seed flower (ground)
2 tbsp raisins
2 tbsp oats

Method

1. With sweat dripping down your forehead, combine all the ingredients, shouting ‘Come out and face me John Cena’.
2. Make into golf-size balls.
3. Refrigerate, consume and fight.
