– tube I’m danielle from drinks tube
over there I do loads of healthy drink
recipes but today I have my favorite
post-workout snack my high-energy
protein balls so I usually make a batch
of these which I store in the fridge for
a few days making it really really
simple and easy for on-the-go they’re
packed full of protein which is great
for replenishing all your lost minerals
and nutrients so what exactly is in this
recipe we have nuts we have seeds we
have fruit but we also have some
specialty ingredients maca powder and
spirulina powder which for me makes this
the ultimate snack okay so the first
thing I’m going to put in my recipe is
250 grams of cashew nuts cashew nuts are
super super high in calcium which is
great for keeping our bones and teeth
nice and strong so next up I have 250
grams of pumpkin seeds pumpkin seeds are
an excellent source of unsaturated fat
and protein of course pumpkin seeds are
also really really high in iron which
helps our red blood cells transport
oxygen around the body so I want the
nuts and seeds to combine first so I’m
gonna give it a quick whizz
okay so what I’m looking for is for the
nuts and seeds to be completely broken
down and in a nice powdery form this is
perfect right so now I’m going to throw
in the oats we have 90 grams of gluten
free oats oh so super super high in
fiber and it’s great to chuck them into
recipes whenever you can this recipe
usually makes me about 20 balls you can
add more or less giving to whatever you
need next up we are going to add in our
powders we have here the spirulina they
may seem like specialty powders but you
can definitely find them at your local
health shop spirulina is really really
high in protein which is great for
muscle repair and muscle building as
well so here I have two tablespoons so
next up we have our maca powder we are
using two tablespoons of this maca
powder is super super high in calcium
which is great for our bones and teeth
but I have a little secret for you it’s
also nature’s viagra right so let’s give
it a quick flip to combine everything
before I chuck in the rest of the
ingredients right so that’s all blends
without next thing we’re going to put in
our mixture is seven pitted dates dates
are super high in copper which helps our
body in many different forms but most
importantly it helps to support our
organs so now I’m going to add one
banana the banana will helps combine all
the ingredients together
great so next up we’re going to put in
two tablespoons of coconut oil the
coconut oil is going to give it a really
nice rich and creamy texture
the last ingredient that I have is 250
milliliters of almond milk I’m going to
add this gradually just to see how the
consistency goes whilst we mixed it
great so that’s all set for me this is
absolutely perfect you can see that all
the ingredients have blended together
quite well it’s still creamy but hard
enough to shape into the balls so I’m
going to take a spoon to grab enough
into the mixture before we start ruling
them out with our hands we want to dab
them in a little bit of water this way
the mixture is not going to stick to our
hand you could also use gloves
so this is about the size that you want
it’s about the size of a golf ball now I
have 20 of these to make I’m going to
get on so these high-energy protein
balls are the perfect post-workout snack
they help to replace your vitamins and
minerals that you may have lost
throughout your workout they’re also
really really easy to make and they’re
perfect to grab on the go now I want to
point out the most important thing about
your protein intake if you are
exercising you want to make sure that
you get your protein in within 30
minutes to help repair muscle damage and
help your muscles grow right now let’s
give it a taste now I’m going to try
this fresh but usually I put them in the
fridge just to firm up so I’ll try about
maybe 15-20 minutes
these tastes absolutely delicious you
have a really nice firm body from the
oats and you have a really sticky and
sweet flavor from the banana and the
dates the best thing about these things
is that you’ve made them so you know
exactly what’s going into them now if
