The hazelnut balls are a perfect snack when you have sweet cravings and after training. Nevertheless, they saturate very well, as they contain a lot of fiber. They keep in the fridge for several days. Since it is not necessary to bake them, they are also made very quickly.
The important thing is that you always opt for unsweetened and low-fat cocoa powder, e.g. baking cocoa and not a mix for hot cocoa drink. These preparations are usually full of sugar and taste too sweet and unnatural. But raw cocoa and dark chocolate have a positive effect on strengthening the muscle tissue.
