Ingredients
- 1 cup pitted soft large Medjool dates (about 10-12 large dates)
- ½ cup natural creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup rolled oats, gluten free if desired
- ⅓ cup fine shredded unsweetened coconut
- ¼ cup (about 1 scoop) vanilla or unflavored protein powder of choice (or sub flaxseed meal or almond flour)
- 1 cup freeze dried strawberries
Instructions
- In the bowl of a food processor, add the dates, peanut butter and vanilla and pulse until ingredients are well combined and sticky, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. You may need to scrape down the sides a few times with a spatula, then process again.
- Add in the oats, coconut, protein powder and freeze dried strawberries and process again. The mixture may seem crumbly at first, but see if you can squeeze a little bit between your fingers and if it sticks, you should be able to form it into balls.
- Use your hands to roll 1 tablespoon balls of dough. If you choose to roll these in a topping, you can roll them in crushed or blended/finely processed freeze dried strawberries. Another option is to roll them into toasted coconut or even drizzle with melted dark chocolate for a sweet treat – up to you.
- Place in a reusable silicone ziptop bag and store in the fridge for 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. They’re actually delicious straight out of the freezer, too!
