We know that a deliciously spiced hot cross bun is an essential for many at Easter, so we created this alternative healthy Easter recipe to enjoy as part of a healthy diet.
These Easter protein balls are the perfect alternative for the traditional bread buns, with those same spiced flavours to satisfy that holiday craving but without the calories and carbs.
This healthy Easter recipe takes just 10 minutes to prepare, requires no cooking and makes 14 balls so you can prepare them once and enjoy throughout the entire Easter period. The only difficulty will be resisting eating them all at once!
Ingredients
- 100g almond flour
- 100g desiccated coconut
- 100g The Fast 800 Vanilla Shake
- 10g chia seeds
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1 orange, zest and juice
- 1 tbsp smooth peanut butter
- 3 Medjool dates, chopped
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 15g tahini paste
Instructions
- Put all the ingredients in a food processor, pulsing on high until well combined.
- Get stuck in by using your hands to space the mixture into 14 even balls (wetting your hands a little before touching the mixture will help it stick to your fingers less).
- Place the finished Easter protein balls in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. Enjoy!

Notes
- Leftover portions can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 7 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- An optional extra: if you want to go the extra mile with this deliciously healthy Easter recipe, try drawing Easter crosses on the tops of the protein balls. Just mix together 25g of The Fast 800 Vanilla shake powder with enough melted coconut oil to make a pourable consistency and drizzle the sweet mixture in cross shapes over each ball.
