Description
These healthy strawberry protein balls are made with a few simple ingredients - all paleo and gluten free! They're a great high protein snack or dessert option.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup freeze dried strawberries
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/3 cup strawberry pea protein (31g)
- 1 Tbsp raw honey (maple syrup for vegan)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3-5 Tbsp water*
Instructions
- Add the strawberries, coconut and protein powder to your food processor. Blend for about 1 minute, so that the mixture turns to a fine powder.
- Add in the honey, vanilla and 3 tablespoons of water. Blend, adding more water (1 tablespoon at a time) until the mixture forms a playdough-like texture.
- Roll the mixture into balls, each about one tablespoon in size. You should get 15-16 protein balls.
- Enjoy as-is, or add toppings**
- Store these protein balls in an airtight container or baggie in the fridge or freezer. They keep well in the fridge for up to two weeks, or the freezer up to two months.
Notes
*The amount of water you need will depend on the protein powder you use. If you aren't using pea protein, I suggest starting with just 1 tablespoon of water and adding more as needed.
**For topping options, you can roll the protein balls in crushed freeze dried strawberries or dip them in melted chocolate.
