Chocolate Coconut Protein Balls Recipe

With a new school year on the way, it seems like our family is busier than ever! It’s a little trickier to eat healthy when you’re in a hurry (anyone else feel like you’re running circles in the mornings??) However, with a little prep, you can stay ahead and have a protein-packed snack ready to go when you need it.

I love this simple recipe for raw food protein balls because it’s easy to make and can be kept for days in the fridge or freezer. Plus, they taste amazing and kids will eat them like dessert!

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups dates
• 1 1/4 cups chopped walnuts
• 5 tablespoons raw cacao powder
• 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1 cup shredded coconut
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons warm water if needed

Instructions
To make the Batter:

• Place the dates in a bowl of warm water for twenty minutes to soften. While they're soaking, grind the walnuts in a food processor. Leave a few chunks for texture.
• Add the dates to a food processor and rough chop until combined (but a few walnut chunks still remain).
• If mixture is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons warm water slowly and keep blending. You may need to pause and scrape down the sides. The mixture will be very sticky.
