Cashew & Dark Chocolate Protein Truffles

Cashew & Dark Chocolate Protein Truffles

These DELICIOUS homemade protein truffles are not just packed with dark chocolate and cashews, they’ll ensure your diet is filled with your micronutrient needs too! 

Diet should not just be about macros, i.e. calories, grams of protein, carbs, and fat. Diet should be about micros too, the vitamins and minerals that make us function our best and feel like superheroes. Hitting our daily micro targets is just as important as hitting our daily macro targets, otherwise we’ll miss out on important nutrients and end up feeling down!

Just three of these truffles contain 21% of your daily allowance for Zinc (as well as iron, calcium, antioxidants, fibre and protein)

That’s the beauty of making your own high protein recipes, you can design it cater to not only your taste buds and macros but also your micros. And you can make stuff that not only tastes incredible but that also delivers a hefty punch of nutritional value. So lets get into this incredibly easy recipe:
