Evive & Genuine Health make a pretty great combo if we don’t say so ourselves! We even have these delicious cookie dough protein balls to prove it! This recipe features Genuine Health’s Organic Vegan Vanilla Protein Powder and our Azteque flavour. What makes these cookie dough balls so nourishing you may ask? The fermentation of the plant-based proteins makes them easy to digest and absorb while not feeling bloated. You also have the Azteque cubes which provide a ton of antioxidants! This recipe is perfect for meal prep – spend less than an hour preparing a batch on Sunday and have yummy snacks for the rest of the week!
