These little beauties are perfect for that pre-race or workout fuel. They provide healthy, simple carbohydrates for that burst of energy you need and healthy fats keeping you feeling satiated. And let us not forget my favorite macro, PROTEIN! 6g per ball!
I created these because I LOVE cinnamon, it has been my saving grace since eliminating sugars, and I was craving a cinnamon raisin bun. I wanted to make something that incorporated those flavors but without the guilt and gluten. There's no guilty gluten or silly sugars in these babies. Every bite is a delight!
Cinnamon Raisin Balls - makes 10 balls
1 1/2 cups raw Cashews
1/2 cup raw Walnuts
1 tbsp Cinnamon
1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder (I use BSN brand)
3 oz Raisins, no sugar added
1 pkt Stevia
1/4 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1/2 cup Gluten-free Puffed Brown Rice
1. Place first six ingredients into a blender and blend until mixture starts to stick together. Don't blend too much as you want a little crunch.
2. Remove contents from blender and put into a medium sized bowl. Add the liquid ingredients first and mix well. It will become quite sticky now. Add the puffed rice and stir through.
3. Using a dessert spoon, or just your hands, scoop out small amounts of the mixture and roll into little balls in your hands.
4. Place in an air-tight container and store in the fridge.
