So I’ve been craving something slightly more nutritious, but still tasty. And these healthy peanut butter banana protein balls are just what the doctor ordered.
And by doctor, I mean me.

Roll the banana oatmeal energy balls on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Top with a couple of extra vegan chocolate chips and bake for 10-12 mins until slightly firm.

Hi…sound delicious…I’m gonna try them . Do you happen to know how many carbs are in them or are they keto friendly ?
These protein balls are composed 50% from carbs with approx 10g per ball. So I wouldn’t necessarily label these as keto, as you’ll probably snack on 3 which exceeds the recommended percentage of carbs per meal for a keto diet. Hope that helps.
