Christmas Spiced Protein Balls

It's our 12 Days of Christmas celebration!
What says Christmas more than a spiced cranberry and oat cookie?
It's the perfect accompaniment to a steaming hot Vanilla Chai Whey Hot or even a warm cup of Eggnog.
For those fortunate enough to win our Limited Edition Cranberry Biscuit WPC, pop a scoop of that in to your cookies, otherwise improvise with our regular Vanilla WPC and add some extra cinnamon and cranberries.
