Ingredients
- 1 ½ Cups dates roughly chopped (240 g)
- ½ Cup dried cranberries 70g
- ¼ Cup Whey Vanilla Protein powder + additional for rolling Grass-Fed for Paleo option
- ¼ Cup + 2 Tbsp Slivered almonds
- 1 – 1 ½ tsp Orange zest *
- 2 tsp coconut oil melted
Instructions
- Place the chopped dates and the craisins into a food process and process until broken down and crumbly.
- Add in the ¼ cup of protein powder, almond and orange zest. Process until well combined.
- With the blender running, slowly stream in the melted coconut oil and process until the mixture comes together into a sticky ball. Depending on the strength of your food processor, this could take a few minutes.
- Pour some vanilla protein powder onto a shallow plate. Roll the date mixture into 1 Tbsp sized balls (or bigger if you want) and roll around in the protein powder, gently shaking off to eliminate any excess.
- Store in the refrigerator until ready to use. **

Notes
- *I liked the recipe with 1 ½ tsp Orange zest, as I love a bright, orangey flavour. My husband thought it was a little too bold, and preferred them with only 1 tsp. So start with 1 tsp and then blend in more if needed.** The coconut oil will slightly harden in the refrigerator, so leave the balls at room temperature for a few minutes before eating if you want them soft.
