The Cook & Him created these indulgent but protein–packed bites to mark our launch of the first British chia, grown by Peter and Andrew Fairs at Great Tey in Essex. The tiny oil-rich seeds of Salvia hispanica were a staple food in Aztec cultures, alongside beans and corn, and are rich in protein, fibre and Omega-3 fatty acids. These protein bites are vegan and naturally gluten-free. |

These are amazing, by far my favourite snacky style bar/balls I’ve ever had, either home made or bought! I adapted a wee bit and used almonds instead of cashews, and also added in some ground linseed/camelina seed mix. First batch I made didn’t last long, so made a bit more the second time but I just end up making larger balls rather than more :) They’re the sort of thing that are commonly available to buy in shops these days for anything around £2+, so it’s great to be able to make them. Consistency is perfect too.
