Ingredients:
90g protein powder (Obviously, we’d recommend Superflora Plant-based Chocolate or Superflora Rich Cocoa Chocolate!)
60g almond meal
20g cocoa (I used Valrhona Dutch Cocoa because it’s luxuriously dark & delicious but you can use whatever cocoa you have in the pantry)
100g coconut oil, melted (equivalent to ½ cup when melted)
140g maple syrup (equivalent to ½ cup)
Filling & toppings:
20-25 frozen (or fresh) raspberries
30g 70% dark chocolate
20g coconut, dessicated
Method:
Add the protein powder, almond meal and cocoa to a blender, before adding the coconut oil and maple syrup. Blitz until the mixture comes together.
Allow the mixture to cool I the fridge for 10 mins for the coconut oil to firm up. This will make rolling the mixture into balls easier.
While the mix is cooling, spread the coconut on a plate, gently melt the chocolate in the microwave and line a tray with baking paper in preparation.
Scoop and roll the mixture into small balls. Add a frozen (or fresh) raspberry into the centre of the ball.
Coat in choc and lightly roll in coconut.
This recipe makes 20-22 balls, depending on the size. My protein balls were about 25-28g without toppings and 28-30g once covered with chocolate & coconut. Store in the fridge.
