Why you'll love these super easy Protein Balls.
These Protein balls Are a Wellness Win!
I’m all about keeping things simple, healthy and delicious, and this recipe checks every box:
Protein Power: Two scoops of Life Shake deliver clean, soy-based protein to keep you and your family strong and energised—perfect to promote healthy digestion, pack a protein punch and inner glow.
Natural Goodness: No fake sweetners, only real ingredients
Easy Peasy: 15 minutes from bowl to plate—because who has time for complicated?
Plus, you can keep them in the fridge and have them on hand for a quick post workout protein hit or when you need a healthy snack on the go.
Why I love Shaklee’s Soy Life Shake.
I used to be a strict Whey protein girl until I started using Shaklee's soy life shake. Since making the change i've gotten better results with my workouts and muscle gains, so the proof is in the pudding but here are some more reasons to love Life shake.
High-Quality, Non-GMO Soy Protein: Shaklee uses ultra-pure, non-GMO soy protein, providing 20 grams per serving with all nine essential amino acids. Many competing brands cut corners with lower-quality protein sources or GMOs, which can compromise nutritional value.
Leucine-Powered Formula: Shaklee fortifies its shakes with leucine, a key amino acid clinically shown to preserve lean muscle and enhance fat burning—features not always prioritised in other powders, which may focus solely on protein content without metabolic support.
Nutrient Density: Beyond protein, Shaklee includes 24 essential vitamins and minerals, 6 grams of fiber, and a prebiotic blend, making it a complete meal replacement. Many other brands offer protein-heavy formulas but lack this broad nutritional profile.
Clean Ingredients: Free from artificial sweeteners, Shaklee uses a natural sweetener system, avoiding the synthetic additives or excessive sugars found in some competitors, which can spike blood sugar or cause digestive issues.
Proven Results: Shaklee’s Life Shake is backed by clinical studies (e.g., as part of the Shaklee 180 Program), showing it supports weight loss, muscle retention, and overall health—something many generic protein powders can’t claim with hard data.
This blend of purity, science-backed benefits, and comprehensive nutrition gives Shaklee an edge, making it a standout choice for your protein ball recipe! You can grab yours by CLICKING HERE
