Hi friends, I hope you are all doing well and are ready to be energised by these amazing protein balls. This recipe came out of necessity really as my wife was buying them from the gym and I said to her "hey I can make them and it won't cost us so much.." so naturally I made them for her and she loved them and I hope you do to.
Here is what you will need:
Ingredients: Makes 12
75g blanched almonds
75g cashews
340g Medjool dattes, pitted
1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
40g unsweetened desiccated coconut
Method:
Whizz the almonds and cashews in a food processor until finely chopped but not ground. Add thew dates and oil and whizz until the mixture clumps together. Using wet hands, roll the mixture into 12 balls, then roll them in the coconut until completed coated. Chill 30 minutes before serving.
Keep them refrigerated and they will last for days, a great energy snack to take with you to work that really fills you up. Let me know what you think.

cocnut and cashew.......what a combination..........Do you know that ...Coconut Coconut meat is high in fiber and minerals, especially potassium. One ounce of shredded sweetened coconut meat (or about 1/3 of a cup) has 130 calories, 1 gram protein, 8 grams fat, and over 3 grams fiber. It also has 3 milligrams calcium, 14 milligrams magnesium, 103 milligrams potassium, and 81 milligrams sodium and Cashews are very nutritious and are a powerhouse [2] of proteins and essential minerals including copper, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc. Sodium is also present in very small quantities.......Awesome post***
Really interesting isn’t it? All of the ingredients really packs nutrient punch for sure
YUM.
I will need to try these out. They look filling and delish all in one. It's so hard to find healthy filling snacks that are easy to make. Well maybe it's not, and I'm just being lazy. Either way thanks for the post.
