Peanut butter protein balls

Peanut butter protein balls

It’s hard to beat the taste of a peanut butter protein ball. With delicious natural sugars, courtesy of dates, and a yummy coconut coating, this is a guilt free delight that is easy to take to work, school or events with friends.

In a food processor blitz:
– 20 pitted dates
– 150grams of nuts (I used cashews)

When it has reached the point of being almost flour like (or chunkier if you prefer) add and blitz:
– 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder
– 1 cup pure peanut butter
– 1/4 cup honey if desired

If your mixture is not sticky enough to hold together then add a couple of tablespoons of melted coconut oil.

Form the mixture into balls of the desired size then roll in desiccated coconut. I prefer to refrigerate them for a half hour before serving.

Enjoy your guilt free dessert!
