Healthy Protein Balls:

Healthy vanilla & tahini protein balls make for a great snack & low are carbs. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/10-benefits-of-low-carb-ketogenic-diets To make them more interesting instead of rolling them in desiccated coconut, roll them in crushed almonds or pistachio nuts. If you want to really change the flavour you can change the vanilla protein powder for a chocolate protein powder making sure your protein powder is at least 85% cacao chocolate powder (morlife chocolate fudge protein powder). In which case you will need to add a little bit more monk fruit or stevia as it is not as sweet as the vanilla protein powder.
