Chocolate, coconut and chia seed protein balls

Prep Time 10 minutes
Servings: 8

Ingredients
  

  • 6 tbsp protein powder (flavour of your choosing)
  • 2 tbsp almond butter
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp cacao powder
  • 1 tbsp desiccated coconut
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 pinch cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 tsp honey, stevia or other sweetener (optional)
  • coconut and cacao for dusting your balls

Method
 

  1. Add all the ingredients into a bowl
  2. Start mixing the ingredients with your hands, crumbling the mixture between your fingers.
  3. As the mixture warms in your hands it should begin to soften and become stickier. If not, you can add a little extra coconut oil.
    If it's too sticky, add a little more protein powder, or desiccated coconut.
  4. Once the mixture becomes a tacky lump, divide it into eighths and roll each piece into a ball between your hands.
  5. Your balls should be nice and sticky at this stage. Now you can roll them in cacao powder or desiccated coconut (or both).
  6. You can eat them straight away but I prefer to harden them up in the fridge for about 20 minutes.
