Ingredients
- ¾ cups cashews
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder
- 1 tbs coconut unsweetened, + more for rolling
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons brown rice syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons almond milk
- 13 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1-2 teaspoon water optional
Instructions
- In a small food processor, chop the cashews into a chunky flour- make sure not to grind them all into a flour, you want some texture left.
- In a large bowl, combine the cashews, protein powder, one tablespoon of coconut, and sea salt.
- Mix well and add in the brown rice syrup, vanilla, and almond milk.
- Mix with a fork until everything is somewhat coated. Then, add in the maple syrup. If the mexture seems too dry or crumbly, add in a bit of water (one teaspoon at a time).
- Using your hands, portion the mixture into balls and set on a piece of parchment paper when done. If rolling in extra coconut or chopped almonds, press the balls in firmly.
- Place the balls in the freezer of the fridge for thirty minutes to set.

Notes
- To prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands too much, rub some coconut oil on them as needed or splash some water.

- To prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands too much, rub some coconut oil on them as needed or splash some water.
- Grab all the ingredients you need from my Pantry Staples.
- The recipe makes 10 small balls, each serving is two balls.
- You only need the water if you notice that the mixture is not sticking together while rolling it into balls.
- Fermented protein powders absorb much more and thus will need more liquid. However, if using a protein powder like Botanica (grab it here) you will not need the water
- The larger you leave the cashew pieces the harder it is to get the balls to stick together
- You really need to squeeze the balls together when portioning to make sure they stick.
- Rolling in extra coconut, mini chocolate chips, or chopped almonds is optional and not included in the nutritional breakdown.
