Raw vegan protein balls

If you like sweet things that must be healthy at the same time, and you also have a secret romance with chocolate, then let us introduce you to your soulmate – a recipe for chocolate and coconut protein balls.

The recipe calls only for 5 ingredients and it takes 15 minutes.

The best thing about the recipe, though, is that you can make more dough and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Every time you crave something chocolatey and sweet, you simply make balls and enjoy the healthy goodness.

They are also great as a quick and healthy breakfast, especially if you have to eat it on the way to work!

INGREDIENTS

(for about 30 balls)

6 large dates
2 heaping tablespoons of the vegan protein powder – chocolate
about 10 tablespoons oat flakes
2 tablespoons coconut chips
5 tablespoons cacao powder

METHOD

Put the dates in the food processor, add some water and blend till you are left with a liquid mixture.
Add the ground up oats and mix.
Place the dough in a large bowl, add the protein powder and mix. Gradually add the cacao powder until you get a thick consistency that isn’t sticky and is easily shaped into balls.
Form about 30 balls and roll each one in the coconut chips.
Place them on a tray or a container.
You can try them immediately, but if you prefer them to harden a bit, then place them in the fridge for 20 minutes. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge.

If the dough is too crumbly and dry, add more dates.
If the dough is too sticky, add more cacao powder and ground up oats.
