Tahini & Cinnamon Protein Balls
Tahini & Cinnamon Protein Balls
Why this is peri-perfect…These vanilla-tahini power balls are a protein-packed, hormone-supporting snack that keeps energy and cravings in check. Protein powder and Greek yoghurt deliver a solid hit of protein to maintain lean muscle and stabilise blood sugar, while almond flour and tahini provide healthy fats and fibre for satiety and hormone support. Cinnamon adds warmth and helps support blood sugar balance, making each bite midlife-friendly. They’re quick to make, portable, and perfect for a nourishing pick-me-up between meals. A light sprinkle of extra cinnamon on top makes them feel indulgent while still being good for your body.
