I’ve got a great recipe for no bake protein balls. They are quick and easy to make, they taste great and keep the kids healthy too. It is a great way to give your children their daily recommended servings of fruits and vegetables. Dr. Bill Sears recommends at least 7-13 servings a day of raw fruits and vegetables. That seems like a lot, but here are the benefits:
- Stronger immune system
- Healthier skin
- Healthier gums
- Protection against heart disease
- Slows down the effects of aging
- Reduction of inflammation
This particular recipe uses a protein powder. There are a lot of powders out there with so many different ingredients and tastes, choose the one best for you and don’t forget to read the ingredients. I purchase one without GMOs. If these protein balls are for the kids, you’ll have to make sure it takes good. I have tried some of these powders, and even though they are good for you, they are pretty tough to choke down because they taste like grass.
Making this yummy treat could be a fun activity to make with the little ones! Just put in the refrigerator or freezer to keep them fresh until used. When the kids are hungry, just pull them out. My kids love them. If the kids need a healthy protein snack, this one is for you….Enjoy!
