Protein balls are a brilliant way to sneak a whole lot of goodness into a tiny kid-friendly little ball.
They're brilliant for take-with-you snacks, they're easy to make, and the protein boost will keep them full for ages.
If you think they'll sniff out the Spirulina, you can leave this part out, but if you can manage to sneak a teeny bit in, it's a great way to help keep them bug-free (and it's good for brain function at school.)
