Christmas Protein Balls 🎄

Jen Recipes , ,

Stuck for Christmas gift ideas, well look no further!  These Christmas Protein Balls are very simple to put together.

No baking, no mess, no fuss.  All you need to do is place the ingredients into a food processer.  Once processed, roll into balls, set and decorate.   As easy as that!

The Christmas sprinkles in the shape of Holly and Berries are out now in the Supermarkets so best to get them as soon as possible before they sell out. 

Even though these are a sweet treat you can feel good about eating and giving these Christmas Protein Balls as they contain healthy ingredients (except for the White Chocolate!)

These Protein Balls taste like Christmas, enhanced with the mixture of the all spice and cinnamon, and they look great too.  Package these little beauties into a gift box or pretty paper bag, tie with a ribbon and you have a super Christmas gift to give.

So put on a Christmas movie or play some upbeat Christmas music and have fun prepping these Christmas Protein Balls.
