HEMP SEED PROTEIN BALLS
Hemp Seed Protein Balls
Hemp Protein is a very good vegan protein source - it contains all the amino acids we need and is also filled with antioxidants, minerals, fiber, and unsaturated fats good for our heart. So far so good. The downside is that the taste can be a little … well let’s say earthy, and the texture a little gritty. So if you find yourself with a bag of hemp protein powder and you realise that you don’t like it very much as a protein shake, fret not: the powder is of great use in baking and raw treats such as these little beauties - Hemp Seed Protein Balls. They only take a few minutes to make and will last a good few days in the fridge.
