    Hi there,

    I'm looking for recipes/websites/food blogs for protein/ energy balls without dates/figs in them? I'm doing strength training at the moment and trying to cut out sweet stuff/ keep sugar to a minimum! Any recipes I've found seems to have dates / figs in them.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    (Edit: Any help with sugar cravings? Finding them tough!!)

    These are protein bars instead of balls. They are really great.

    Chocolate whey protein powder
    Oats

    make these all the time an major issue with the balls for those trying to lose some weight is they can contain a high amount of calories and people end up eating too many or too often thinking clean food = free food.

    Yes make them

    just dont end up eating the entire tray over 2 days unless you're going BEEFCAKE!
