Protein Bliss Balls

You would be lying if you said these didn't look good. And boy oh boy do they taste good!

I stumbled across this recipe earlier on this week and since then I have already made two batches. I think that says something for itself. Once you have one, I promise you you will be tempted to have another one...or five!

I won't keep the suspense going any longer. You need 7 ingredients, one bowl or a food processor and you'll be a very happy chappy. 

Makes approximately 22 balls. 

Ingredients:

1 cup Almonds

1/4 cup Oats

1/4 cup Shredded Coconut

3 tbsp Cacao powder

1 tsp Vanilla

3-5 tbsp Protein Powder of choice

2 cups Dates

2 tbsp of Water 

Toppings of Choice - Eg. Coconut, Chia seeds, Flax seeds, Cacao powder

Step One: Place the almonds, oats, coconut, cacao and protein powder into a food processor and process until fine and crumbly. Alternatively, you can place the dry ingredients into a blender.

Step Two: Add the dates into the food processor until sticky, thick mixture. Alternatively you could do it the good ol' fashioned way, with your hands! I opted for this option as our food processor decided to break down. Turns out I had far more fun doing it this way and it tasted just as good!

Step Three: Roll the mixture into a long roll, slicing it equally into 22 balls (give or take depending on your preferred size). Roll them up and coat in desired topping. 

Step Three: The best part comes next. You don't even need to cook them, take a bite from one of these bad boys. 

Enjoy!
