Ingredients
Makes ~20 balls
Raspberry Coconut:
- 1 cup cashews or almonds
- 1 cup oats
- 1 cup raspberries (frozen works well)
- 80g of vanilla protein powder (or 1/2 cup milk powder also tastes great and adds a protein boost)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 10 medjool dates, pitted
- ¾ cup desiccated coconut
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
Variations
Stawberries & Cream:
Switch raspberries for frozen strawberries
Choc Raspberry:
Add 2 tbsp cocoa or cacao OR just add 1/4-1/3 cup of cacao nibs to the mixture before rolling.
Mango Macadamia:
Use 1 cup frozen mango instead of raspberries.
Add 1/3 cup chopped macadamias to the mixture before rolling.
Mango Raspberry:
Use ½ cup frozen mango, ½ cup frozen raspberries.
How to
- Combine all ingredients into a food processor and blend until a consistent mixture forms (the mixture shouldn’t be crumbly – it should roll into a ball easily).
- Roll mixture into balls (~ 1 tsp is a good guide) and coat with topping of your choice.
- Store in the freezer (this will keep them firm).
