Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- ⅓ cup vegan protein powder About 1 Scoop
- ⅛ cup raw honey
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- 3 tablespoon almond milk or any plant-based milk
- 1 tbs water
- Chocolate Topping
- 1 tbs coconut oil
- ⅛ cup 2 tbs enjoy life chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon cacao butter
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine the shredded coconut and vanilla protein powder.
- Measure out the honey and pour it and the almond extract into the powder
- Mix and mix well- it will seem dry. Add in the almond milk, water and mix again until everything is at least combined.
- Line a tray with parchment paper and rub some coconut oil onto your hands (to help prevent sticking).
- Using your hands (grease them with coconut oil first!), portion and roll the mixture into little balls (8 them). Place them on the tray
- Place the tray into the freezer to set.
- In a small pot, melt the coconut oil, chocolate chips and cacao butter over medium to low. Whisk until smooth.
- Place the frozen balls into the pot and toss until coated. Place them back on the parchment paper and into the freezer for 5-10 minutes.
- Repeat the process and coat the balls one more time, placing them back into the freezer.
- When ready to eat, let the protein balls thaw for five minutes before popping them into your mouth.

Notes
- The brand of protein powder you use will affect the flavor and consistency of the balls.
- The recipe makes 8 balls. Two balls is one serving
- Let the balls thaw at room temperature for fifteen minutes (or in the fridge for longer) before enjoying
- You will have a bit of chocolate sauce leftover, dunk some almonds in it and let harden in the fridge for a treat.
- If left outside, the chocolate coating will begin to melt. These balls are best kept slightly cool
- Keep in mind the protein values may be off by 1-2 grams as it depends on which protein powder you're using. Each vegan protein powder has a different markup of ingredients which can alter the intake slightly.
- You can chop up squares of dark chocolate if you don't have chocolate chips on hand.
