Coconut Protein Balls
Recipe by The Groovy Food Company
These Coconut Protein Balls are soft to bite into, full of flavour, yet tough enough for active lives. Made from real food items, they pack a quiet punch of nourishment without shouting about it.
Each chunk carries steady power alongside a hint of pleasure – no fuss, just results. When your day kicks off fast or energy dips later, they step in quietly.
Since they do not need heat, they fit neatly into tight schedules. Once tried, most find themselves reaching for another – even though they should not. Store some in the fridge – you’ll appreciate that choice down the road.
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 cups Medjool dates, pitted
- 1 1/2 cups almonds
- 20g of The Groovy Food Coconut syrup
- 1/2 cup water
- 4 scoops whey protein powder, 120 g
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup coconut flakes, unsweetened
METHOD:
- In a food processor, add almonds and process until coarse almond meal texture (bigger pieces are OK). Add dates and water, process until combined, pausing and scraping the walls if necessary.
- Add cacao powder, protein powder, and process until well combined, pausing and scraping the walls if necessary. Then add The Groovy Food Coconut Syrup with chocolate chips and give a few pulses to distribute evenly.
- Remove the blade. Using spatula scrape the dough off of the blade and walls, pulling into one pile inside the food processor bowl.
- Spread coconut flakes on a large plate. Using a small cookie dough scoop, drop balls of dough onto it, cover with coconut flakes (from the plate) and gently roll around a bit.
