I used to LOVE Chai lattes BUT then I realized how much sugar was in them. I had to give them up. When I found Chai protein I was hooked! These little babies remind me of fall & winter and make me feel all cozy inside. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
Chai Protein – 1 Cup — Here’s a link to the one I LOVE
Almond or Peanut Butter – 1 Cup
Coconut Nectar, Honey or Agave Nectar – 1/2 Cup
Chia Seeds – 1/4 Cup
Optional Toppings:
Mini Dark Chocolate Chips
Pumpkin Seeds
Unsweetened Coconut Flakes

If you are using a “natural” nut butter that separates (which I would recommend for health reasons), I recommend mixing your nut butter so it’s back to a homogeneous mixture before measuring. i.e. no dry spots and no oily spots
-
The easiest way to do this is to put all the ingredients in a food processor and mix until fully blended.
-
Once mixed, I use a tablespoon cookie scoop (here’s one I love) to make the mixture into balls & pop them onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. If you don’t have a cookie scoop just use a spoon & roll them into balls.
-
If you’re choosing to add toppings, just roll the protein balls in whichever one you choose now.
-
I think they taste the best when they are cold so I store them in the freezer. Pop the whole cookie sheet into the freezer and once frozen you can store them in a container.

Enjoy!
