Dates are an all time favourite of ours here at Vibe Tribe Headquarters. So we wanted to create an easy recipe for a snack where dates were included, but the carbohydrates and sugars weren't through the roof!
After trial and error, we came up with these delicious PROTEIN BALLS. They are perfect for a morning snack, an afternoon pick-me-up or a sweet after dinner treat! Typically 2-3 balls will do the trick; the hard part is stopping there... 🤤
We have included the nutritional breakdown bellow for all of you gym junkies tracking your macros! Let us know what you think 😍
