SUPER POWER COCONUT NUT BALLS


Protein Shakes and Protein Bars are great snacks when you are working out and getting fit, so why not try my quick and easy recipe to help you get your butt into shape!!!

SUPER POWER COCONUT NUT BALLS!


~ SUPER DELICIOUS
~ SUPER HIGH IN PROTEIN
~ SUPER ENERGY BOOST
~ SUPER POWER

WARNING: SUPER POWER COCONUT BALLS ARE SUPER ADDICTIVE!

Eat a couple of my bite size protein balls pre-workout and they will give you a super healthy boost of energy to pump those weights and nail that treadmill!

Replace your usual post-workout protein shake or protein bar with 2 of these 'Super Powered Balls' or as a snack on the go. They are all natural and will give you the protein you need to build and repair muscle, and keep your tummy grumbles away!

1/2 cup Almonds
1/4 cup Peanut Butter
1/2 cup Dates
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1 TBS Honey
1/3 cup Dried fruit (cranberries, diced apricots, sultanas)
1/2 cup Shredded coconut
1/2 cup Rolled oats

1 ~ In a food processor, pulse almonds until they are chopped nicely.
2 ~ Add dates, peanut butter, cinnamon and honey, and pulse until combined.
3 ~ Add coconut, rolled oats, dried fruit and pulse 3-4 times to combine.
4 ~ Take 1 teaspoon of mixture and squish together in the palm of your hand to
form a ball.
5 ~ Place on sheet pan and repeat until all the mixture is gone.
6 ~ Refrigerate for 30 minutes and enjoy!


Tip: I like to use dried cranberries as they give this mixture a tart bite, but chopped dried apricots, or raisins would work too!

Happy Cooking Foodies!
