Protein balls are the easiest high protein snack to make at home – literally all you need is a few minutes, a few ingredients and a food processor. These are a great addition to any high protein diet but are especially great for curbing cravings when you are trying to improve your diet and cut out snacks or junk foods, as they still taste sweet and chocolaty. They're also really useful for an energy boost during a busy day!
