Turmeric Paw Paw Protein Balls

Content by: 180 Nutrition


Kimmy: If you are like me, and have turmeric powder sitting in your cupboard and no idea what to do with it – here is a great snack you’ll love. Here are just a couple of reasons why Turmeric is so good for you.

Three Benefits of Turmeric:

  1. Detoxification – Turmeric supports liver detoxifcation.
  2. Anti-inflammatory – Turmeric contains curcumin (which gives it the yellow colour). The curcumin within turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory that can help reduce inflammation in the body.
  3. Antioxidant – Curcumin neutralizes free radicals on its own, then stimulates the body’s own antioxidant enzymes.

Ingredients

  • 1 + 1/3 cup mixed nuts
  • 1 Tsp. Turmeric Mix
  • 2 Tbs. 180 Nutrition Superfood Protein
  • 1/2 Cup Apricots
  • 1/2 Cup Dried Paw Paw
  • 2 Tbs Coconut Oil

Method

  1. Add the dry ingredients, the nuts, protein powder and Turmeric powder to a high speed blender and blend till loosely combined for around 10 seconds.
  2. Add the wet ingredients including the apricots, paw paw, coconut oil and vanilla to the blender and blend until combined. Add a little more water if you need.
  3. Using a dessert spoon, roll into small bowls and then place on a tray in the fridge to cool.
