These soft and delicious Spiced Chai Protein Balls taste just like cookie dough. Made with natural plant-based ingredients, they make the perfect post-workout snack or after school treat.
Whenever I make a batch of these Spiced Chai Protein Balls they’re guaranteed to disappear within a day! They’re made from finely ground oats, almonds, Medjool dates, almond butter, coconut oil and a chai latte mix.
I bought my chai latte mix online from a speciality health food store. It’s a natural blend of cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, Chinese-5-spice and organic vanilla. If you wanted to make your own, Skinnymixers has a Thermomix recipe for Vanilla Chia Powder which you can find here. Unfortunately, the ones you find at the supermarket are laden with sugar.
Protein balls are a great snack to have on hand although I find it’s hard sometimes to stop at one! They keep in the fridge for a few days so if they’re not eaten at once you can always have some on hand.
