Indulge in these heavenly treats, perfect for satisfying cravings without compromising on flavour or digestive comfort!
Ingredients:
90g protein powder (Obviously, we’d recommend Superflora Plant-based 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, desiccated
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 in the fridge for 10 mins 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.
