If you have an obsession with all things chewy, and you also have a love affair with chocolate, then allow me to introduce you to your soul mate — these coconut-covered chocolate almond protein balls.
The recipe makes 24 balls, and one ball is 53 calories!
What you'll need:
1 cup raw almonds
1 cup golden raisins
1 1/2 scoops chocolate plant-based protein powder (1 scoop is about 35 grams; I used Vega)
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
What you'll need to do:
Add almonds to a food processor or high-speed blender. Process nuts a few minutes until a creamy almond butter forms.
Add raisins and mix until smooth.
Add in the protein powder and salt; blend until thoroughly combined.
Roll dough into 24 balls, coat each ball with shredded coconut, and place on a plate or pan.
Enjoy immediately, or if you like a firmer consistency, refrigerate for at least 20 minutes. Store uneaten balls in an airtight container.
