Delicious Coconut and Date Protein Balls!

Omgosh! I think I just created the most delicious healthy and vegan snack. If you like chocolate and coconut you are going to love this. I have seen this recipe before so it's not fully originally however I did change it a little bit.  This is also in english measurements as I have only found this recipe in cup measurements previously. 

For the ingredients you are going to need:

• 15 Pitted Dates blended in a food processor (I used a smoothie maker).
• 8 Tablespoons of shredded coconut (you will also need extra for rolling the balls in).
• 5 Tablespoons of melted coconut oil.
• 2 Teaspoons of raw cocoa powder.
• 3 Tablespoons of chia seeds.
• A dash of coconut milk.

Makes 10 snack sized Protein Balls.

• Blend your pitted dates together until they are fine and sticky. In a large microwave safe bowl melt your coconut oil.

•  Once your coconut oil has melted, add in your shredded coconut and mix.

•  Add in your dates, raw cocoa and chia seeds mixing between each ingredient.

• Stir the mixture until it comes together like a biscuit dough and add in a dash of coconut milk. If the mixture is too wet add in more chia seeds.

• leave the mixture to stand for 20 minutes to allow the chia seeds to soften. After letting it sit the mixture will be ready to roll in your hands to create small balls. Put some extra shredded coconut on a small plate and roll the balls in it until they are covered. You can keep them in the fridge or freeze them.

Enjoy!
