Dark Chocolate Coconut Protein Balls

adapted from ‘tinyinklings’
makes about 9 balls

Ingredients

1/4 cup chia seeds
4 Tbsp. almond butter
3 Tbsp. protein powder
(vanilla or plain)
3 Tbsp. dark cocoa powder
(or cacao powder to keep it raw)
1/8 tsp. sea salt
1 Tbsp. honey or agave nectar
1 Tbsp. coconut oil
(melted, but not hot)
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Additional 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut for rolling

Preparation:

Mix all ingredients together, either by hand or in the food processor. Roll the dough into 1-1/2″ balls and then roll each ball in shredded coconut. Pop in the refrigerator to set up. These will keep covered in a Tupperware in the refrigerator for up to a week, but I doubt they will last that long. Enjoy!
