Coconut chocolate protein balls

June 25, 2016

*Recipe makes 8 balls

Made these super balls last week and I ate them all in a few days. The thing I love about them is that they are quick to make and aren't messy, so you can bring them anywhere with you, for early morning starts, for midday snacks, for pre or post workout. They have a great macronutrient ratio and are all around a great snack and energy booster.

Ingredients:

2/3 cup oat flour (just mill some oats to make your own with a high powered blender or processor)
1/2 cup chocolate whey protein powder
3-4 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
3 tbsp almond or cashew butter
2 tsp chia seeds
4 tbsp rice malt syrup
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted

Instructions:

Mix together the oat flour, protein powder, chia seeds and cocoa powder in a medium sized bowl. Add in the rice malt syrup, nut butter, and vanilla extract, then slowly stir in the almond milk one tablespoon at a time until you get a thick dough. Place in the fridge to chill.

Once chilled, remove from the fridge and form into 8 balls and place on baking paper. Lightly toast the coconut in nonstick pan and pour onto a plate. Roll each ball in the coconut until completely covered, then place in the fridge to chill for at least 30-60 minutes. Enjoy!
