Ingredients

  • 1½ cups of pitted dates
  • 2 tablespoons of unsalted unsweetened peanut butter
  • 1½ tablespoons of Cocoa powder
  • 1½ tablespoons of protein powder (vegan protein powder if you're vegan)
  • 1 cup of almond meal
  • 2 tablespoons of almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract optional
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon optional
  • 1 cup of shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Put your dates, peanut butter, cocoa powder, protein powder, almond meal, almond milk, vanilla extract and cinnamon in a food processor.

  2. Process for 1-2 minutes until all of the ingredients have merged together nicely.

  3. Grab about ½ a tablespoon of the blended mixture, then roll into a smooth ball. Then continue to do the same with the rest of the mixture.

  4. Put your shredded coconut in a bowl, then roll you protein balls in the coconut until you get a nice coating that sticks to the balls. You may have to push and squish the shredded coconut into the protein balls.

  5. Serve or store away and enjoy.

Recipe Notes

  • If you struggle with sweet cravings, these protein balls are the perfect backup plan.
  • When you roll the protein balls through the shredded coconut, you may have to push the coconut into the balls to get a good amount of it to stick on.
  • You can use dried apricots as an alternative for dates. And you may want to add a touch of maple syrup if you use apricots instead since they aren't quite as sweet as dates.
  • You can use rolled oats instead of almond meal.
  • If you're vegan, you can use vegan protein powder instead of regular protein powder. Or you could just used something like chai seeds.
