Forget the marketing on packets\u00a0of biscuits which say Perfect For Lunchboxes because they really aren’t. \u00a0These packets are usually loaded with sugar, additives and preservatives and are usually empty carbohydrates – high energy, low nutrient foods. Now these Chocolate Protein Bombs really are Perfect For Lunchboxes. They are\u00a0naturally sweet from the dates but\u00a0are packed with\u00a0protein from the seeds, so they will offer longer lasting energy.<\/p>\n
*My family like 85-90% dark chocolate so I used 3\u00a0overflowing tblspns of Cacao. Adjust the amount to suit your family.<\/p>\n
Best stored in the fridge, then pack directly into the lunchbox – too easy. I haven’t tested freezing these yet but it’s not really necessary, they will last a month in the fridge anyway.<\/p>\n
These bombs are a great way to get your kids involved in making their snacks.<\/p>\n
We have started shooting and writing for our forthcoming recipe book \u201cRecipes from the Bus\u201d. All recipes will have been created in, and\/or\u00a0photographed\u00a0from our bus, while we\u2019re on the road travelling Australia. I created this recipe\u00a0because one day we went hiking at Cape Tribulation in Far North Queensland. I packed our usual lunchboxes with morning tea and lunch but totally underestimated that we would still be there at 4.30pm in the afternoon. I had no afternoon tea.\u00a0Our trip back to the camp ground was going to be 1.5 hours.\u00a0There was no way we would make it back without killing each other unless we had something to eat. On Cape Trib, the few cafes were closed for serving food and so we had to resort to a packet of plain chips from the small supermarket. I created these Chocolate Protein Bombs for the next\u00a0hiking adventure. There was no way I was going to get caught out like that again.<\/p>\n
\nJust a reminder, you don\u2019t need to be a master chef, or have a big spotless kitchen to make awesome nutritious meals or snacks for your family.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Christmas Gift Idea<\/h2>\n
At Christmas, roll these balls into a small size and then make into reindeer poop. Drop the coconut from the outside so it looks more authentic. Here’s a template to print off for a gift tag. Click on the image below<\/p>\n
