Protein is great for you - powering you through the day, keeping you feeling full, boosting your whole body. If you’re doing any kind of exercise, from a walk to a serious weights session, protein is there to help your muscles repair and build stronger. But let’s be honest, things that are good for you can often be a teensy bit dull and feel like a chore.
So it's time for a game changer – vegan chocolate protein balls with tahini.
They take just 15 minutes to rustle up and zero minutes to cook, are utterly delicious and, importantly, pack a nutritional punch.

- 12 Protein Balls
- Prep Time
- 15 Mins
Ingredients:
All you need to make 12 are:
- 60g MIGHTY Chocolate Protein Powder
- 200g rolled oats
- 50g desiccated coconut
- 2 tbsp chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp tahini
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
In a mixing bowl combine all of the ingredients apart from the maple syrup. Then, slowly add the syrup and mix to bring everything together. Note: If the mixture looks a little dry, they you might need to add some more syrup.
Using clean hands, form the mixture into 12 x balls slightly smaller than a golf ball.
When you’ve used up all the mixture, store your no-bake protein balls in an airtight container, place in the fridge and consume within one month. Although, if you’re anything like us, they’ll probably be gone in a few days.
