Description

These vanilla protein balls are made without nuts (no peanut butter) and are paleo and vegan friendly.  They're great for snacking, packing in lunches or as a healthy dessert.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (50g)
  • 1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds (38g)
  • 1/3 plant based vanilla protein powder (40g)
  • 3 medjool dates, pitted (50g)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 3 Tbsp water*

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients, except water in a food processor.  Blend, then add the water one tablespoon at a time until the mixture starts to clump and forms a ball in the food processor.
  2. Scoop the dough and roll into balls about 1 tablespoon in size.
  3. Store the leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to two weeks.

Notes

*Depending on the protein powder you use, you may need more or less water.
