This my little place to share pictures & recipes of food that I enjoy. I do most of my cooking on Sundays due to time constrains. It takes some time, but well worth it during the week. My friends have all enjoyed seeing my pictures so I figured it's time that I start showing the recipes that go into it. I only do easy stuff because lets face it... we are not master chef's (unfortunately!). P.S. It's misspelled on purpose.

Protein Balls
You see that plate of little chocolate balls? Yeah, they're delicious and the perfect preworkout or just plain snack item. I tend to munch on 2 of those with an apple as a morning snack.
Adapted from Fitnessista.
Ingredients
2 T protein powder
2 T creamy nut butter (i prefer almond)
2 T shredded coconut (if you're not a coconut fan, like me, I can assure you that you can barely taste it!)
1 T agave
1 packet of stevia
Pinch of sea salt
1 T dark chocolate chips (look for the Hersheys' Special Dark in the baking section)
Directions
1. In a small food processor, pulse protein powder, nut butter, and coconut until thoroughly combined.
2. Add agave, stevia, and salt and continue to process until a dough forms.
3. Add in chocolate chips and pulse to chop them up and mix them in.
4. Roll into balls. I use a small scooper and then I'll pack them and roll them in my hand.
1 ball = 1 serving
