I love how sprinkles make everything look so fun! These protein balls would look pretty boring on their own, but roll them in sprinkles and you have Funfetti Protein Balls!  Let the party begin 🙂

These fellas are so easy to whip together.  Check out the video to see what I mean.

I used peanut butter in this recipe but feel free to substitute your favourite nut butter.  I also added my favourite protein powder, Nuzest Clean Lean Protein, which I’m sure you’ve heard me talk about many times before.  It’s the best tasting vegan protein powder out there with clean ingredients that you can actually pronounce.  Scroll down below for a discount code!

These protein balls are the perfect pre-workout snack.  They are vegan, gluten-free, low in carbs and sugar but full of protein.
