These Chocolate Almond Protein Balls are proof that nature makes the best candy. No brownie, snickers bar or m&m could compare to this wholesome goodness.
And it gets better, they're 100% guy and kid approved.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of presoaked and pitted dates [soaking isn’t necessary but I find it gives it a more gooey texture]
- 1/2 cup of raw almond butter
- 1/4 of organic cacao powder
- 1/4 cup of chia seeds
- A dash [or two!] of sea salt
- * Optional – 2 tablespoons of your favorite vegan vanilla protein powder
- 1/4 cup of processed almonds to roll the protein balls in
Directions
1. Add all ingredients [except for the processed almonds!] into a food processor and pulse until it becomes a gooey dough like texture.
2. Roll the Dough into 1″inch balls
3. Place processed almond powder into a small bowl and roll the protein bites around until each one is fully covered in almond.
4. Store in for about 20 minutes to let them harden a bit and then enjoy!!
