Ingredients (makes 15 balls):
½ cup chocolate protein powder
¼ cup organic peanut butter of your choosing
⅓ cup oats
8 pitted dates
3 tbsp. water or almond milk
Also needed -
Wax paper
Instructions:
Place chocolate protein powder, oatmeal, peanut butter, and pitted dates into a food processor and pulse for 30 seconds (or until well combined).
After 30 seconds, add water (or almond milk) to the combination and pulse for 15-30 seconds. If the mixture is still not sticky, add more peanut butter or milk until a better consistency is formed.
Remove ingredients and roll the dough into about 15 balls. Place on wax paper and allow the balls to harden in the fridge for at least 1 hour before enjoying.
Store balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
Notes:
**Best served with a glass of almond milk!
**I use Naked Nutrition powder. The link to purchase is here: https://nkdnutrition.com/products/chocolate-pea-protein-powder
**I recommend a food processor instead of a blender. In the pictures you will see a Vitamix blender, but it would be easier with a food processor.
**More milk or peanut butter may need to be added to the mixture to ensure that the balls stick together. Some peanut butter is not as oily as others.
**This recipe makes about 15 balls but smaller balls could be made.
