Since starting out in 2015, the Protein Ball co have rolled out and sold over 180 million protein balls.

Not bad going by Matt & Hayley Hunt, the founders, having started with the simple aim of making protein snacking easier, is it?

Especially when you hear every ball is rolled in their commercial kitchen down in Worthing, West Sussex.

Who knew Sussex was such a ball-ing powerhouse?

What protein do they use?

The three types used are:

• Whey Protein

Containing all essential amino acids, it is especially high in branched-chain amino acids - best for muscle growth and immune system-boosting glutamine.

• Plant-Based Protein

High in fibre, this vegan-friendly option is naturally low in cholesterol and sodium. As plants alone tend to miss some essential amino acids, the Protein Ball Co use a combination of brown rice and pea protein to mirror the same amino acids found in Whey Protein.

• Egg White Protein

Completely cholesterol free, this high-quality protein source is packed with vitamins and minerals which is ideal if following a paleo diet (depending on how strict you are).
