Quick note on the protein powder: this brand of Good Protein is my new favourite!

I haven't been able to find a protein powder that isn't full or sugars or sweeteners.

But this one is perfect(<-- not an affiliate link).

🔪Instructions

Here's how you make these easy tahini protein balls:

🔄Substitutions

For the protein powder, you can use whatever you prefer. Just watch out for protein powder that has any major fruit flavors that might clash with the rest of the ingredients.

But if you love strawberry, then go for a strawberry protein powder!

If you don't have maple syrup, you could use liquid honey instead.

🥡Storage and Leftovers

Once you make these tahini oat protein balls, pop them into an airtight container and keep them in the fridge.

They keep really well - up to a week or longer.

You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.

Hope you love these like we do❣️
