There are so many different varieties and flavors you can choose from, whether you’re seeking healthy fats, more fiber, or something rich and decadent to help curb that chocolate craving. Let’s begin with our most loved protein balls:

3.   BLACK SESAME PROTEIN BALLS

If you’ve never had a black sesame treat or smoothie, the flavor is typically a combination of nutty, salty, and sweet—the perfect combination, in my opinion! This recipe for Asian-inspired protein balls features one of my favorite flavors: BLACK SESAME! With only five ingredients and a preparation time of fewer than ten minutes, this recipe for black sesame protein balls is everything you want in a quick and easy (and nutritious) snack that’s low carb and high protein!

Sesame seeds have a light but sweet flavor with nutty undertones. They’re also high in protein, fiber, healthy fats, calcium, vitamins B and E, and antioxidants. Sesame seeds provide protein and calcium, which support muscle and growth, while the micronutrients in sesame seeds assist protect your body from free radical damage. In addition, healthy fats contribute to reducing blood pressure and cholesterol, hence improve overall heart health.

Fun fact: did you know that there’s a saying in Asia that black sesame seeds help prevent grey hair and make you seem younger? It’s probably all thanks to those antioxidants and nutrients that make black sesame seeds a popular anti-aging food.

4.   BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE PROTEIN BALLS

Blueberries are among the smallest fruits but hey, don’t be fooled by their tiny size! This summer berry is loaded with essential vitamins and antioxidants and is ideal for a nutritious snack or bringing a dish to life.

These blueberry cheesecake protein balls are soft, creamy and sweet, with only five ingredients.

Blueberries are an excellent source of anthocyanin, the pigment that gives them their dark blue tint. Additionally, blueberries are high in vitamin C, one of everyone’s favorite immune boosters. So besides strengthening our immune system, blueberries may help reduce our risk of diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and overall brain functionality.
