Ingredients
- 1 cup sesame seed butter/tahini
- 3/4 cup PurePaleo Protein Powder vanilla, or PurePea Protein for plant-based version
- 6-8 drops food-grade lemon essential oil , or 1.5 tsp lemon extract
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds, black or white
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Add sesame seed butter, protein powder, lemon oil or extract and sea salt into the food processor and combine ingredients. Use a spatula to scrape sides if needed. Mixture should be dense and smooth so it can be pressed together. If it's too wet, add more protein powder. If it's too dry, add more sesame seed butter (1 tsp at a time).
- Using a teaspoon, scoop mixture and form into small balls. If balls are too sticky to form, place mixture into the freezer for 10-minutes then remove and form balls.
- Roll balls into sesame seeds then place them in large shallow glass container so they're not touching one another.
- Store protein balls in the fridge or freezer for a frozen treat. Once the balls have firmed up, feel free to stack them in a smaller container.
