#Whole46 Amazeballs

Day 13 of Whole46 and we're chugging right along.  This weekend KLH and I got together to make another batch of the infamous protein balls i've been telling you all about.  I am always looking for quick easy breakfast/snack ideas and these fit the bill perfectly.  Here's the recipe so you all can give them a try! 

Ingredients:
-1 jar Sunbutter (if you're following Whole30 it needs to be the organic kind without cane sugar)
-1 package dried dates
-1 package dried pineapple or cranberries (i've tried both)
-1 scoop egg white protein powder
-optional: you can add in any other type of nuts or dried fruit that you'd like.  I've also used unsweetened coconut flakes before for a different flavor.

Directions:
1. Cut dates and dried fruit on a cutting board (I found that it was easier to cut them before you put them in the food processor). 
2.  Place cut dates and fruit into a food processor and pulse a couple times.
3.  Add one jar of sunbutter and mix well.
4.  Pour mixture into separate bowl and add egg white protein powder.  Mix well.  You can add more if the "dough" is still very sticky. 
5.  Roll into balls (whatever size you want) and refrigerate.
6.  Enjoy!



*Depending on the size of the ball the protein content changes.  It doesn't have a crazy high amount of protein, but it has a great balance of carbohydrates, protein, and fat to fuel you throughout the day. 

So, you might be wondering how these got the name of Amazeballs.  Well not only did KLH and I make these on Friday, but we also watched an "incredibly fantastic" movie with our friend KM.  And i'm being extremely sarcastic with that statement.  We ended up Redboxing the movie So Undercover with Miley Cyrus.  Obviously, we were setting ourselves up for a terrible movie, but it was exactly what we wanted on a girls night in.  The major slogan in the movie was Amazeballs, which we figured was the perfect name for these protein balls!

On to another fun-filled Whole46 day!
