{"product_id":"macro-mike-protein-indulgence-ball","title":"Macro Mike Protein Indulgence Ball","description":"\u003cp\u003eMacro Mike Protein Indulgence Ball is a plant-based snack built like a confectionery product rather than a protein bar. A soft, nutty protein centre wraps around a creamy protein custard core, and the whole thing is enrobed in dairy-free chocolate. Each 40 g ball carries 7 g of plant protein and 4.5–6 g of fibre for under 190 calories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose Macro Mike Protein Indulgence Ball\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 g of plant protein per 40 g ball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e176–185 calories depending on flavour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.5–6 g of fibre per ball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreamy protein custard core inside a dairy-free chocolate coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtein from soy crisps, faba bean and almond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGluten free, dairy free and vegan friendly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweetened with coconut nectar, brown rice syrup and stevia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo refrigeration needed – keeps in a bag, desk drawer or glovebox\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle 40 g ball or box of 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Inside\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost protein snacks are a single compressed slab. These are built in three layers. The centre is a soft nut-and-protein base, wrapped around a custard core made with coconut milk powder, coconut MCT oil and cashews for a genuinely creamy middle. Over the top goes a dairy-free chocolate coating – milk-style on the Choc Brownie and Lamington, white on the Birthday Cake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe protein comes from three sources: soy protein crisps for a bit of crunch, plus faba bean and almond protein in Macro Mike's own blend. There's no whey and no dairy anywhere in the formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fibre content is the part that surprises people. Soluble tapioca fibre pushes each ball to between 4.5 g and 6 g of fibre, which is a meaningful share of a day's intake from a snack this size, and it's part of why they sit heavier than the calorie count suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorth being upfront about what this is: at 176–185 calories with 7 g of protein, it's a treat that happens to carry protein and fibre, not a post-training protein hit. Judged as an alternative to a chocolate bar rather than a shake, it stacks up well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing Your Flavour\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChoc Brownie\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCocoa through the base and a dairy-free milk chocolate coating, with a coconut and cashew nut blend giving it a fudgy, brownie-like texture. 176 calories and 7 g protein.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChoc Coconut Lamington\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoconut through the centre with cocoa and a dairy-free chocolate coating – the closest thing in the range to a classic lamington. 183 calories, 7 g protein and the highest fibre of the three at 6 g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBirthday Cake\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVanilla base under a dairy-free white chocolate coating, finished with hundreds and thousands. 185 calories and 7.1 g protein.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow To Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReady to eat straight from the wrapper – one ball is a single serve. They're shelf stable, so they travel well in a gym bag, work drawer or car without needing to be kept cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood as an afternoon snack when something sweet is calling, as something to eat on the way home from training, or as a dessert-sized treat after dinner. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, and the box of 12 works out cheaper per ball if a flavour becomes a regular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eContains soy, almonds, cashew nuts, peanuts and hazelnuts. May contain Brazil nut, macadamia, pecan, pine nut, pistachio and walnut – the Choc Brownie may also contain sesame. Not suitable for anyone with a nut, soy or peanut allergy. Always read the label and use only as directed. If symptoms persist, see your healthcare professional.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macro Mike","offers":[{"title":"Choc Brownie \/ 12 Pack (Box)","offer_id":49045351006433,"sku":"MCM-PIB40CB","price":69.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Choc Brownie \/ Single Serve (40g)","offer_id":49045371027681,"sku":"MCM-PIB40CB-S","price":5.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Birthday Cake \/ 12 Pack (Box)","offer_id":49045350940897,"sku":"MCM-PIB40BC","price":69.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Birthday Cake \/ Single Serve (40g)","offer_id":49045371060449,"sku":"MCM-PIB40BC-S","price":5.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Choc Coconut Lamington \/ 12 Pack (Box)","offer_id":49045350973665,"sku":"MCM-PIB40CCL","price":69.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Choc Coconut Lamington \/ Single Serve (40g)","offer_id":49045371093217,"sku":"MCM-PIB40CCL-S","price":5.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0537\/0291\/8323\/files\/Macro_Mike_Protein_Indulgence_Ball_40g_Choc_Brownie_Front.webp?v=1788747039","url":"https:\/\/asnonline.co.nz\/products\/macro-mike-protein-indulgence-ball","provider":"ASN Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
