Low Fat High Protein Vegan Energy Balls
Makes: 24 balls • Total Time: 20 mins • FODMAP rating: low

If you don't like protein powder, but need a high protein, low fat snack, this recipe is for you. Instead of peanut butter we use powdered peanut butter which is lower in fat, but still has a good amount of protein. The dates make it sweet and the chickpeas and peanut butter powder add the protein. You can adjust according to your taste preference by adding less dates (so it's not too sweet) or more peanut butter powder if you want to up the protein amount. These are sweet enough that you might even want them for dessert!

Ingredients
12-15 soft pitted medjool dates
1 can of chickpeas
1/2 cup powdered peanut butter powder. 
1/2 cup oats
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
dash of cloves (optional)
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions
Place the pitted dates in a food processor and blend until they become a paste. Then add all other ingredients except for the chocolate chips. Blend until it becomes the consistency of playdough. Then mix in the chocolate chips and form into balls. 

Store in the fridge for 1 week or freezer for 3 months in an airtight container.
