Got 5 minutes? Whip up the perfect protein balls with just 4 ingredients — chocolate, coconut, dates, and our 1-ingredient California Almond Protein Powder combine for delectable flavor and texture. If you're a fan of the classic candy bar, you'll love these better-for-you bites.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup dates, pitted 2 TBSP Octonuts Almond Protein Powder 1/3 cup cocoa powder 1/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
HOW TO
Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor. Blend until crumbly.
Using your hands, form mixture into 1 inch balls. An optional (but highly recommended) step is to roll the bites around in a small bowl of mini chocolate chips.
Refrigerate 15-20 minutes before serving. They also freeze well!
Tip: If the protein balls aren’t holding together, add more dates — they help bind everything together.
