Pumpkin Pie Protein Balls
It’s time for all things #pumpkinspice! I was inspired by some fall treats I saw at the store today and decided to make my own healthified version.
Makes ~12 bite-sized balls
INGREDIENTS
2 tbsp vanilla protein powder
2 tbsp almond flour (tigernut flour was in the original version of this recipe and is a great alternative if you’re working on gut issues)
2 tbsp raw almond butter
2 tbsp organic pumpkin puree (I refrigerated mine so the balls were easier to roll)
A little splash of pure vanilla extract
As many shakes of Pumpkin Pie Spice as you want! (cinnamon, allspice, cloves, nutmeg, ginger)
Optional: add sunflower seeds, walnuts or almonds to the mix for an extra crunch
Add dark chocolate chips for a little extra sweetness :)
DIRECTIONS
Combine all ingredients into a food processor, or whisk aggressively with a fork until combined thoroughly. The consistency should be thick enough to roll into bite-sized balls. Refrigerate after & enjoy!
