Instructions for preparing Protein Balls with Popped Quinoa and Amaranth
Mix all ingredients for the filling in a medium bowl, then form walnut-sized balls with your hands. Place them in the freezer for 10-15 minutes while the glaze is being prepared.

For the glaze, you can use any chocolate you like. Melt about ½ cup of each type + 2 tbsp almond milk in a double boiler or microwave.

Once the chocolate cools down and tempers, remove the chilled candies from the freezer and start dipping them one by one in the chocolate, then place them on a tray lined with baking paper. You can also use toothpicks to make it easier to dip and remove them.

Place the finished chocolate candies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens, after which they are ready for consumption. You can freeze them or store them in the refrigerator for up to a week.
