CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PROTEIN TRUFFLES

Quick and easy no bake deliciousness!

One of my beautiful clients is Eva’s Wellbeing supplements and for out latest shoot I was asked to create a couple of recipes using their protein powders.
 To explain a bit more about the proteins, these are made from high quality Canadian grown peas, and the Naked protein has an extremely subtle flavour and super smooth texture, making it a perfect pantry staple.
 It also contains all nine essential amino acids, vegan, 100% natural, high in iron, high in protein! AND ever better, NO additives or preservatives and no synthetic flavours or colours.

The first recipe I wanted to create was a sweet treat, yet still high in protein so I worked on these choco peanut butter protein truffle bites using Eva’s Naked protein.
 
These are a mixture between your regular bliss balls, but a little fudgier and sweeter to cover any sweet cravings you have after the gym or during a busy work day. They are also very simple and only use a few ingredients so make the perfect weekday snack 😊
Ingredients:

​Rolled oats – They have a great texture and really worked well in this recipe.
Peanut butter – I like to use Pics crunchy peanut butter as it has a wonderful consistency for mixing- the more drippy the better as it’s easier to mix in. If you only have a dry or solid nut butter then a quick blast in the microwave will help to thin it out. If you are allergic to nuts then tahini also works well.
Maple syrup or Honey – For Vegan protein balls, use maple syrup instead. This hint of sweetness really makes the flavour pop.
Protein powder – Eva’s unflavoured pea protein or a similar Vegan protein (regular protein powder can also be used)
Cocoa or quality chocolate Powder
Pumpkin seeds – to add some extra nutrition and a crunch.
Sesame seeds – to coat the protein balls.

Recipe:
​

This is a no bake recipe, so it takes about 5 minutes to complete making it SO accessible even for a busy schedule.
​
  • 1 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats – very lightly blended to create a fine powder
  • 1 cup Pics crunchy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • ½ cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1 1/2 scoops, about 50-60 grams Eva’s protein powder
  • 1 Tablespoons cocoa powder

  • Firstly blend the oats slightly to create a light powder, thicker than flour
  • From there add the peanut butter, honey/maple syrup, protein powder, pumpkin seeds and cocoa powder into a large bowl and stir HARD to combine – this will require some muscle work, so you will get a great arm workout - you are welcome!
  • Once mixed well and thoroughly combined together, use a dessert spoon and roll these in your hand until they are looking beautifully round.
  • On a side plate, roll these in sesame seeds, cocoa powder or chocolate sprinkles if you have them (these give and added extra sweetness)
  • I then placed them in the fridge for 30 minutes until set which was soon followed by me eating about 5. 
ENJOY!
