Easy-t0-Make Matcha Protein Balls
It seems every brand on the market these days is trying to get into the protein bar space. In some stores, there’s even an entire aisle dedicated to convenience bars, a wide expanse of various colors, shapes, flavors, and hidden ingredients. It might not be obvious, but there’s a common thread between most protein bar options out there today: sugar.
Sugar can come in various names and forms so it’s easy for it to hide on a recipe label. But if you make your own protein bars, you can escape that shadiness altogether. For this recipe, I took one of my favorite flavor combinations of summer – matcha and lemon – and created chewy, rich protein balls with 8g of protein each. It’s like sinking your teeth into cookie dough with every bite, despite having no added sugar and packed with healthy fats!
If you prefer a nutty flavor, try this almond protein balls recipe!
