Vegan Coconut Coffee Protein Balls Recipe

Prep Time 30 minutes

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Food processor
  • Airtight container

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup pitted dates
  • 1/2 cup flavored protein powder of choice
  • 1/2 cup strongly brewed coffee
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions
 

  • Brew the coffee and set it aside to cool.
  • Place the pitted dates in a bowl, add hot water, and allow to soak for 15 minutes. If the dates are nice and soft, you can skip this step.
  • Drain the dates well, then add the ingredients to a food processor. Mix into a thick dough — one that you can press together between your fingers.
  • Roll the dough using your hand into about 18 balls.
  • You can roll the balls in coconut, cinnamon, or cocoa powder for extra flavor.
  • Put the vegan coconut coffee protein balls in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for up to three months. You can store them at room temperature for one to two days for better texture.
