Composition & benefits :

Whey protein: whey is a high-quality protein, rich in essential amino acids, particularly leucine, which plays a crucial role in muscle protein synthesis. Consumption of whey promotes muscle recovery and growth, particularly important after training.

Peanut butter: a source of mono- and polyunsaturated lipids, peanut butter contributes to good cardiovascular health. It also provides protein and fiber, useful for satiety and stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Maple syrup or honey: these ingredients provide simple, unrefined carbohydrates for a quick source of energy. They also contain antioxidants and minerals.

Nutritional advice

You can add a little low-sugar cocoa to vary the taste of the power balls.

These 3-ingredient protein balls are particularly suited to the nutritional needs of athletes.

Post-workout: ideal after exercise to provide protein for muscle repair. If you're not hungry after exercise, opt instead for a chocolate whey shaker recipe and keep these pellets as a snack.

As a snack: perfect for a nutritious snack, balancing protein, fat and carbohydrates.

Conservation :

• Refrigeration: These balls can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge, staying fresh for up to a week.
• Freezing: For longer storage, they can be frozen, keeping for several months.
