These protein balls will take you to flavour town!
Want to try a different flavour of Protein Balls this week? Why not make our Rocky Road Protein Balls, they taste too good to be true!
The secret is sugar-free Jols and marshmallows to make the authentic rocky road flavour experience.
The peanut butter makes for a more rocky road flavour but can be omitted if there is an allergy.
If your kids don't like protein balls, they will now! They're ideal as a lunchbox filler or a treat pre workout.
Ingredients

Directions
- Mix your dry ingredients in a bowl to combine.

- Make a well in the middle of your mix and add all your wet ingredients. Stir well and add in 1-2 tsp of water at a time if the mix is a bit dry.
