Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup smooth almond butter
  • 1 cup tightly packed Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1/4 cup paleo protein powder
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, plus extra for rolling
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of fine sea salt

Method
 

  1. Put the dates, almond butter, protein powder, 1/4 cup coconut, vanilla, and salt in a food processor. Process 1 to 2 minutes until a sticky dough forms.
  2. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls, wetting your hands as needed to prevent sticking.
  3. Roll each ball in the extra shredded coconut and serve. Chill for 15 minutes if you prefer a firmer texture.

Notes

If your dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes and drain well before using. The balls will firm up in the fridge and keep their shape even at room temperature for a few hours, so they travel well.
