A simple, delicious snack made with 40UP® Whey & Collagen Protein Powder, natural peanut butter, oats and vanilla.
These protein balls take just minutes to prepare and are an easy way to add 40UP® to your day. Keep a batch in the fridge for a convenient breakfast addition, afternoon snack or something to enjoy after training.
Why make them with 40UP®?
40UP® was formulated specifically around the changing nutritional needs of muscle after 40.
Each 60g serve provides 37.3g of protein, 3.5g of leucine and 3g of creatine, together with 10g of Peptan® hydrolysed collagen peptides. CollagenX
That makes it easy to incorporate a substantial amount of protein and key nutritional ingredients into simple everyday foods.
And the natural vanilla flavour works particularly well with peanut butter, oats and coconut.
