Pack a couple of these delicious treats when you need an energy boost while you’re out and about.
We used crunchy little soy protein crisps but you could also use puffed quinoa, although this will reduce the protein content and increase the carb content of the fuel balls.

- Combine the peanut butter, maple syrup and salt in a medium pot and heat gently to melt together.
