Paleo friendly Grok Balls
A great little snack to eat an hour before a workout, whilst out on a long distance run or just when you feel the need for some food throughout the day. I warn you though, you’ll probably eat mixture equating to about 3 grok balls when you make them, they’re just so bloody tasty! 🙂
Blitz the following ingredients in a blender to a rough / course consistency (too smooth and they don’t bind well), and then bake for 10mins at about 160ºC to 180ºC.
- Chia seeds 1tbs
- Walnuts 1/2 cup
- Almonds 1/2 cup
- Desiccated coconut 1/2 cup
- Cashews 1/2 cup
- Pumpkin seeds 2tbs
- Sunflower seeds 2tbs
- Almond butter 2tbs
- Coconut oil 1tbs
- Protein powder 1scoop
- Vanilla extract 1tsp
- And 1 egg yolk
This recipe produces about 15 grok balls and the average macro-nutrient profile per ball is:
- 240 kcal
- 20g Fat
- 8g Carb
- 10g Protein
Massive hat tip to Mark Sisson of Marks Daily Apple for the rough base idea for these.
