Little people similar me require lots of protein. And this tasty lilliputian appetizer stance provides a expert too tasty dose amongst quinoa, beans too peanut butter. I adore lilliputian bites, too these lilliputian savory balls tin give the sack live on served every bit a lite repast too, every bit they are quite filling.
But these baked quinoa balls select to a greater extent than than only protein. Combined amongst sun-dried tomatoes, jalapeño, tamari, soil ginger too kokosnoot milk, they select a wonderful rich too deep Thai-style flavor, too the zesty peanut butter dipping sauce amongst lime, tamari, kokosnoot milk too toasted sesame crude oil is only heavenly. You won't live on thinking well-nigh how salubrious these are!
Almond or other nut butters tin give the sack live on used instead of the peanut butter if desired.
