Snack: Pumpkin Pie Protein Balls

Ingredients

  • 160g pumpkin, peeled & diced
  • 50g vanilla vegan protein powder (or flavour of your choice)
  • 110g almond meal
  • 3 tsp. ground cinnamon 2 tsp. ground ginger 40g desiccated coconut 40ml rice malt syrup

Method

Add water to a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Add in pumpkin and cook for 10 minutes, or until cooked through. Drain and mash with a fork until smooth. Set aside and allow to cool.

Add protein powder, almond meal, cinnamon, ginger and half of the desiccated coconut to a bowl. Add in mashed pumpkin and rice malt syrup and combine with a spoon until a sticky, wet dough has formed. Set mixture in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up a little.

Add remaining desiccated coconut to a plate.

Use a tablespoon to spoon out the mixture straight onto the plate of coconut. Using the palm of your hand, roll the mixture in the coconut in circular motions to create a ball. Repeat with remaining mixture until you have 10 balls.

Set in the freezer for an hour, or until firm.

Serve 2 balls and refrigerate the leftover balls to be consumed over the week.
