Ingredients

Servings:

  • 1 cup coconut shredded, unsweetened
  • 3/4 cup peanuts dry roasted
  • 1/4 cup protein powder pea
  • pinch vanilla bean powder optional
  • pinch salt sea, fine
  • 10-12 dates medjool; pitted and soaked for 15 minutes
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter natural
  • 1-2 tbsps almond milk toasted coconut (store bought item)

Instructions

  1. In a food processor fitted with the S blade, blend the coconut and peanuts for 20-25 seconds, or just until they turn into a semi-coarse meal. Add the protein powder, vanilla bean powder (if using), and sea salt, and pulse just until combined. Add the dates and pulse for 25-30 seconds, just until they’re evenly distributed, then add the coconut almondmilk and pulse until combined. If desired, transfer the mixture to a small mixing bowl and stir in any extras; cacao nibs, chopped peanuts, coffee beans, etc. Using a 1 teaspoon cookie scoop, drop the balls onto a flat surface lined with parchment paper. Transfer to an air tight container and freeze for 30 minutes before consuming. Bites will keep in the refrigerator for up to one week, or in the freezer for up to one month.
