This is a superrrrr way to re gain your energy after a workout as a post workout snack or just a small snack in-between meals. It takes 5 ingredients to create these balls of energy and goodness.

Below are the ingredients you will need with a jolly simple and easy method. 

• You can use any nut butter, I just prefer almond butter to peanut butter.

• You could also use agave nectar instead of honey. 

• I used double chocolate whey protein powder from My Protein 

• Put all the ingredients into one bowl and mix together until the mixture starts to stick together.
• Grab some mixture and roll into small balls, they don't need to be super big because they're just little snacks, but you can roll them whichever size you would like.
•  This mixture made about 15 balls that were quite small. 

• I like to put the protein balls in the fridge or freezer after just to keep them cool and less sticky. I have heard they can last months if you keep them in the freezer, I haven't tried that yet but mine normally last 1-2 weeks in a fridge for post workout energy or snacks.

Happy Energy Snacking!

Protein shake lovin’…

So this isn’t an essential thing you need in your life to achieve fitness goals but I wanted to give it a go. It is not the cheapest either, I paid £19.49 for 1.45kg on the MyProtein website which is quite a lot and it lasts well.

I didn’t want to get protein powder to build muscles or anything like that so I went with the impact diet type. After doing research because I had no clue about the ingredients or anything about it I decided to give it a go.

This type of protein powder is whey protein, which is fab in helping with weight loss and increasing metabolism. Overall is boosts metabolism and reduces appetite to reduce snacking between a meals.

I have my protein shake after the gym using skimmed milk instead of water because I think it tastes better. And then I may have one mid afternoon to stop cravings for eating crap before dinner.

I’ve been drinking these shakes for a month and a bit now and I’m finding it is helping me so much, with stopping cravings and generally having more energy after a workout.
