Chia seeds are high in quality protein, much higher than most plant foods. Despite their tiny size they are among the most nutritious foods which are absolutely flavourless so you can add a tablespoon to any food you wish to without altering its flavor. Unlike flax seed , we need not grind these in order to absorb all the nutrients.
Here are some vegan truffles that I made with all healthy ingredients like dates , nuts and chia seeds . I saw the recipe perhaps on FB or Pinterest , I really can’t remember but I remember it was by Jagruti . I wish I could give her a feed back on these . These are one of the best truffles I have had . I ate one every day after my workout and did’nt need any breakfast. They kept me full for nearly two hours.
They are perfect after a work out to give you that energy . Chia seeds rank among the top plant based protein sources. This is another reason this super seed is great to consume for those trying to put on lean muscle, burn fat and balance blood sugar levels, so go ahead and try these super Protein Rich truffles.

That’s one healthy blend of ingredients. Love these cute little enery bites. Perfect during hunger pangs.
Love mocha flavoured truffles and they are so tempting for our appetite!!
Those energy balls look fabulous. Vaishali, I am taking the next flight to your place to eat those gorgeous dishes you turn out and learn some photography and presentation.
These energy balls will be something yummy and love them Vaishali. Making them today or tomorrow or as soon as someone gives me those dates in the lowest drawer.
Excellent one Vaishali, even though I have been having Chia seeds and wanted to include that in this edition, I am yet to get around cooking with it…your truffles look super inviting and I am surely going to make this..very good one!
Beautiful clicks and delightful healthy truffles. I’d also seen these on Jagruti’s blog and have bookmarked it. Will definitely make these for diwali in place of ladoos.
Mocha chia seeds truffles sounds so tasty and super healthy. Love this wonderful idea.
These energy bites look so good. I made a no bake brownie bite similar to this. Next time will try adding chia to it to oomph the protein factor.
Never tried anything other than pudding with chia seeds, truffles sounds just prefect to make soon to sneak this protein rich seeds without any fuss. Want to munch some.
have a pack of chia seeds that can go into this wonderful bite ! and that mocha twist is too much to ignore đ bookmarked
These truffles are so tempting. With coffee flavour is like a mist try for me
your truffle looks so inviting. Nice way to include chia seeds in sweets.
