  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder (60g)

Instructions

  1. Soak dates in warm water for 5-10 minutes if they’re not already super soft. 
  2. Add the oats to a food processor or blender and briefly blend to break the oats down some (but not completely). Then add the rest of the ingredients (except the coconut) and blend until you form a sticky dough. Add more water 1 tsp at a time if you need.
  3. Scoop out dough about two tablespoons in size) and roll into balls with your hands. You can dampen your palms with a little nonstick spray to help prevent sticking. Then roll the balls in the shredded coconut. 
  4. Keep stored in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

Notes

  • Naturally gluten-free and dairy-free.
  • To make vegan: use a vegan protein powder
  • If your protein balls are too dry/crumbly, just add a little extra water or milk. Not all protein powders have the same consistency and some will absorb liquid more easier than others, which might cause your protein ball mixture to seem a little dry or crumbly. The best way to fix this is just add a little water or milk, about a teaspoon at a time, until they are easier to roll into balls. Add liquid slowly – you also don’t want to over due it!
