Directions
Add all the ingredients except the toasted coconut to your food processor or a high power blender. Puree until a cookie dough-like texture forms.
Pour the toasted coconut onto a plate. Roll into bite size balls using your hands & lightly roll them over the shredded coconut until mostly covered. Place the balls on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Freeze & then place in an airtight container. Store in the freezer & enjoy as a sweet treat or a protein-rich snack!
Ingredients
3 cups vanilla protein powder, Schinoussa whey isolate was used
1 cup oat flour
6 tbsp fresh lime juice
½ cup coconut flakes
¼ cup unsweetened sunbutter
¼ cup filtered water
1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp Himalayan pink salt
½ tsp stevia, or more to taste
½ cup toasted shredded coconut (for rolling the balls)
Notes
Sticky Balls? - Dampen your hands before rolling & the dough won’t stick to your skin!
Dough is too dry? - Add more water, 1 tbsp at a time until it is sticky enough to roll into balls.
Dough is too sticky? - Add more protein powder or oat flour, just a little bit at a time.
