Hey Guys,

I love experimenting with different products to enhance nutrients within my recipes.

Raw Protein powders by Amazonia www.amazonia.com.au is a great addition to my pantry. It easily enables me to increase protein in my diet and refuels my muscles after an intense workout.

Why is protein so important you ask, well it assists in:

Maintaining muscle mass
Increasing lean muscle mass
Aiding in muscle recovery
Increasing digestion and metabolism Helping with glycogen synthase = fat burning
Increasing energy

RAW Protein Isolate by Amazonia is the first global prebiotic protein, created to feed good digestive bacteria, which helps increase the breakdown of protein in the body.

I have recently been mixing things up with RAW protein vegan products by creating tasty and nutritious snacks free from sugar, dairy and gluten. This product is great for FODMAP and gluten-free options for clients and online followers with food intolerances.

Amazonia’s Raw, live protein contains no whey, making it a powerful, dairy-free option with high levels of readily-absorbed nutrients. It is the rawest form of natural protein to come onto the market.

Amazonia is generously offering my clients a 10% discount, accessible via consultation.

I always tell my clients to replenish essential nutrients shortly after a workout, when the body’s supplies have been depleted or exhausted.

The recipe below using RAW protein is the perfect pre and post workout snack. It is best-enjoyed 30 minutes before your workout, or straight afterwards, to help with muscle growth, reduce fat stores, and optimize recovery.

Below I have included a recipe for delicious protein balls using Amazonian's RAW protein.

Step 1:

Blend in food processor: 1/2 cup of raw almonds, and a small handful of raw walnuts.

Optional: use your preferred nut of choice.

Blend until you have reached a chunky consistency.

Step 2:

Add other ingredients. Blend until ingredients come together into a dough-like texture (should still be a bit rough with little chunks of nuts/coconut through it).

.Step 3:

Using your hands, shape into balls and roll in protein powder or sesame seeds to coat.

Berry protein balls:

1 tbls of RAW energy berry flavoured
1 tbls of Loving Earth cacao powder
4 dates
A small handful of cacao nibs
Optional: shredded coconut

Sesame protein balls:

1 tbls RAW isolate natural protein powder unflavoured (or chocolate flavour)
4 dates
1 tbls of black tahini
1 tsp of cinnamon powder

If the consistency of the mixture is too wet then add some more blended nuts or almond meal. Once the balls are formed, roll in sesame seeds to coat.

Chocolate protein balls:

4 dates
1 tbls RAW isolate cacao and coconut protein powder
1 tbls of loving earth cacao powder
1 tsp of cinnamon powder
¼ cup of shredded coconut
A pinch cayenne pepper to taste (optional if you like a bit of spice)
1 tbls of grated ginger (optional)

To finish, roll balls in coconut flour or shredded coconut

FODMAP option:

Replace almonds with pecans/walnuts

Replace dates with 1 tbls of coconut oil and 1 tbls of tahini or nut butter

Additional ingredients, if desired:

Goji berries
Grated fresh ginger
Grated fresh turmeric
Cayenne pepper for an extra zing…..trust me! It’s the perfect combination in the chocolate protein balls

Stored in the fridge, these delights will last up to 7 days – if they haven’t been eaten by then!

I recently discovered a new raw vegan hemp product by Narcotic Nutrition and have loved using it in my recipes. As I am constantly on the go between clients, yoga and training, this product easily helps me to increase the protein in my diet.

The first time I knew that I had to help people create delicious protein-enhanced meals was when I saw a gym enthusiast sprinkle vanilla protein powder on the top of his 300g Angus steak. Awful. I couldn’t bare the idea of another person not understanding that with the right touch you can enhance a meal with nutrients without destroying the taste!

Raw vegan hemp by Narcotic Nutrition is a great addition to my pantry. It has easily enabled me to increase protein in my diet.
