Why It's Good For You:
It may seem like a load of ingredients, but trust us, each has their purpose in the recipe. However, the star ingredient would be ginger! Ginger has been found to reduce muscle soreness or DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness). Which makes these protein balls perfect to consume post workout. One of the other great things about this recipe is that you can whip these protein balls up on a Sunday evening and store in the fridge for a quick and easy post-workout snack to save the fuss during the week.
