Whey Coconut Protein Balls Recipe

Prep Time 15 minutes

Equipment

  • Mug
  • Mixing bowl
  • Airtight container

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup cashew butter
  • 1/4 cup rice malt syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tsp instant coffee granules
  • 4 tsp hot water
  • 6 tsp coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup unflavored whey protein isolate
  • a pinch of sea salt
  • almonds (for coating) optional

Instructions
 

  • Brew the instant coffee with the hot water and set it aside to cool.
  • Mix the cashew butter, rice malt syrup, vanilla extract, coffee, and sea salt in a large mixing bowl until combined.
  • Add the whey protein powder and coconut flour, then mix until you get a dough.
  • Divide the mixture into 16 portions. To do this, you can roll the mixture into a large sausage, split it in two, then split each half in two, and repeat the process until you get 16.
  • Roll a portion of the mixture into a bite-sized ball, then roll it in the crushed almonds over it. Repeat this process with the remaining mixture.
  • You can put your coffee protein balls in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for one to two days.
  • You can wrap the remaining balls in a foil or a ziplock bag and freeze them. Defrost in the fridge when you’re ready to eat them.
