A Clean + Simple Snack for the Whole Family!

Super healthy packaged snacks and protein bars can be very expensive to buy every week.  Here is a simple recipe to make your own nutritious snack at home.  This snack is filled with lots of vitamins and minerals from ingredients such as dates, almond butter, oats and protein powder. It is a simple, no bake recipe that is friendly for the whole family to make and enjoy! 

My family usually grabs two of these delicious protein balls each to have as a filling and delicious afternoon snack.  These snacks will never be wasted, because they are just that tasty! They also taste great with a cup of coffee, yummy.

Here are two tasty recipes so you can start making this delicious clean snack at home! 

Vanilla Date Protein Balls

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups of pitted dates (soak in warm water for 10 minutes)  
  • 1 cup of rolled oats
  • 8 tbsp almond butter or 10 tbsp peanut butter
  • ​2 scoops of vanilla protein powder (I use Arbonne Protein Powder)

  1. Add oats to food processor or blender and pulse until they reach the consistency of flour.
  2. Add dates (but save the date water), almond butter or peanut butter, and vanilla protein powder and continue processing until well combined. You may need to scrape down the sides of your processor and add a few teaspoons of date water to get things moving. Add water sparingly, as adding too much will make the dough too sticky.
  3. Transfer dough to a small bowl.   Use a tablespoon to divide dough into equal portions, and form dough into a ball. Place balls in fridge for about 20 minutes to allow them to set or eat them immediately :)

*Balls are best stored in an airtight container in the fridge. They are also wonderful when frozen.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Balls

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups of pitted dates (soak in warm water for 10 minutes)
  • 1 cup of rolled oats
  • 10 tbsp natural peanut butter
  • 2 scoops of chocolate protein powder (I use Arbonne chocolate protein powder)

  1. Add oats to food processor or blender and pulse until they reach the consistency of flour.
  2. Add dates (save the date water), peanut butter, and chocolate protein powder and continue processing until well combined. You may need to scrape down the sides of your processor and add a few teaspoons of date water to get things moving. Add water sparingly, as adding too much will make the dough too sticky.
  3. Transfer dough to a small bowl.   Use a tablespoon to divide dough into equal portions, and form each portion into a ball. Place balls in fridge for 20 minutes to allow them to set or just eat them immediately :)
*Balls are best stored in an airtight container in the fridge. They are also wonderful when frozen.

I've never used rice protein powder, but I'm sure the taste would be similar. Let me know how it turns out!

You have to be the person who makes your family better. If you think that this is the best snack to give them, then go for it. I think that it is our purpose to go and make our family's diet a little bit better, right? I am of the thinking that we all need to make our families a little bit healthier. I think that this is what we need to do if we want to last longer as a family.
