Paleo Raw Protein Coconut Balls

Hey Everyone,

What can I say about these delicious raw protein balls, they are divine & so fast and easy to make.

Perfect to pop into your bag for a Pre/Post gym snack.

What you will need

• 1/2 cup walnuts
  
• 1/2 cup cashew nuts
• 1/4 cup almonds
• ¼ cup raisins (or dried cherries) soaked in hot water for 5 minutes
• ¼ cup unsweetened coconut flakes, plus another ¼ cup for rolling (optional)
• 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• cinnamon to taste (about ¼ teaspoon)
• 1½ tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon coconut butter( or peanut butter)
  
• Dark Chocolate melted (optional)

Instructions

• Combine all three nuts in a food processor( I used a blender) and pulse a few times until they are finely chopped.
• Add remaining ingredients (except additional ¼ cup coconut flakes for rolling) to the food processor and process until the mixture comes together and starts to stick. This will only take about 1 minute.
• Transfer mixture to a small bowl.
• Pour remaining coconut flakes into a dish.
• Roll nut mixture into balls using your hands then place in the dish and roll in coconut flakes( roll in dark chocolate before coconut flakes)
• You can eat them as is or transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet and refrigerate to firm them up a bit.
• Once refrigerated for about an hour, they can be wrapped up individually for easy snacking.

 

If you don’t have coconut butter, use additional coconut flakes and a bit more honey. It just acts as another binding and sweetening agent or peanut butter.
