Ingredients
- 1 cup whey protein, chocolate
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup coconut butter (I used Artisana Coconut Butter) *could also use natural peanut butter
- ⅓ cup honey
- ⅓ cup quick oats
- ⅓ cup shredded coconut
- 1 Tbsp milk
- .
For the Topping
- ½ cup shredded coconut (toasting is optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the whey protein, cocoa powder, oats and coconut.
- Add in the coconut butter, and honey and mix until it starts to form into a dough.
- Add the 1 Tbsp of milk and mix. Add slightly more milk as needed to make it roll into a ball easily.
- To toast the coconut for the topping, add the ½ cup coconut to a dry skillet pan over medium heat. Stir constantly until it becomes golden brown. Remove from the heat immediately and place in a shallow dish.
- Once the toasted coconut is cool enough to handle, take each ball and place in your hand, squeeze the toasted coconut into the ball. I find that simply rolling in the coconut doesn't work as well.
- Store balls in an airtight container and keep in the fridge or freezer.
