Hey everyone, hope you're looking forward to tomorrow's christmas party. Kicks at 4:30.
Today though we finally have another episode of 'Vaughn's Kitchen: Is it even Paleo?' with a guest chef appearance by one of our own: Michaela!
For those of you that have tried her protein ball snacks you know they're awesome and we are here to show you they are easy as well.

Ingredients:
2 Cups almonds
1 Scoop chocolate protein powder
1 heap tsp on cinnamon
1 tbsp LSA mix (linseed sunflower almond)
(optional) 2 tbsp Cacao powder
1 tsp Natural vanilla essence or 2 tbsp Organic Maple syrup
20 or so dates
1 handful of cranberries
1/4 cup of water
Shredded coconut for um.... garnishing....
Michaela did most of the ingredient adding by feel so play around a bit to get the flavour you want.

Directions:
1. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a food processor and blend until a fine mixture.
2. Add the dates, and vanilla/maple and blend until it starts to form a stickier mixture.
3. Pour in water slowly while mixing until you notice it starts to
form in big clumps around the processor.
4. Take out small amounts and roll into balls, roll them around in a bowl of shredded coconut to coat it and set in a bowl.



5. Refrigerate for a couple of hours before eating.
6. BOOM! Perfectly good protein balls bursting with flavour and goodness.




We have bench press, bent over rows, running and burpees today. Come in and have fun.
