Vegan Protein Bliss Balls Recipe. These balls are high in protein, rich in dietary fibre, omega 3 fatty acids and are also gluten free, refined sugar free which makes them perfect either as a pre or post workout snack.

Do you know that it is important to eat a high protein food within half an hour of finishing your work out, be it morning or evening? The protein not only helps to build more muscle but also quickens the healing of tiny muscle fissures that happens during working out and reduces soreness of the muscles.

That is why I love eating this Banana Peanut Butter Overnight Oats or this Chia Pudding for my breakfast after I finish with my morning workout.

If I do not have time in the morning and have to make do with an evening workout, I make sure that I nourish myself with a green smoothie to which I add this homemade vegan protein powder.

But since I also happen to have low blood sugar level, I find it difficult to exercise in an empty stomach as I start feeling giddy. So I started making this vegan protein bliss balls adapted from the vegan protein powder and have one or two before I begin exercising. It helps me to stay more balanced.

While making these vegan protein bliss balls for my children, I skip the cane sugar and add in dry fruits like pitted dates, figs and raisins. They not only act as a natural sweetener but also are high in dietary fibre and add even more protein.

While making it for myself, I usually do not bother adding any sweetener. While you can still add dry fruits, you need keep in mind that they are also very high in sugar and calories. So if you are watching your weight and counting calories, you may want to skip the dry fruits.

I have added cardamom to add in flavor as I happen to love it, but you can also add cinnamon powder or little grated nutmeg to bring in the flavor. If you happen to have apple or pumpkin pie spice powder, they would work well too.
