Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 cup creamy almond butter
- 0.5 cup medjool dates, pitted and chopped
- 0.25 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Place the pitted and chopped medjool dates into a food processor and pulse until they form a sticky paste-like consistency.
Step 2
Add the almond flour, coconut flour, almond butter, shredded coconut, chia seeds, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt into the food processor with the date paste.
Step 3
Pulse several times until the mixture is well combined and starts to clump together.
Step 4
Slowly add the water one tablespoon at a time while pulsing, until the mixture becomes sticky enough to hold together when pressed.
Step 5
Once combined, transfer the mixture to a bowl for easier handling.
Step 6
Scoop about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a ball. Repeat this process with the remaining mixture. You should be able to make about 12 balls.
Step 7
Place the protein balls on a plate or a lined tray and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
Step 8
Storage: Transfer the protein balls to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to a week. Enjoy them as a ready-to-go snack whenever you need a quick energy boost.
