Super seed coconut protein balls

In the interests of healthy snacking I decided to make these today. I’ve noted how you can switch the ingredients to work with what you have in the cupboard so hopefully you can make your own version. Mine were a mix mash of lots of things as you’ll see!

Ingredients

Makes 24 falafel sized balls

• 400g dates

• 50g sunflower seeds

• 50g pumpkin seeds

• 100g desiccated coconut

• 4 tbsp cacao (or coco powder)

• 2 tbsp coconut oil

• 2 tbsp peanut butter (or any nut butter, smooth or crunchy)

Method

• Spread the desiccated coconut on a plate or tray.

• Use a mini ice cream scoop to measure out and shape the balls by pressing them into the coconut.

• A tablespoon will also work fine if you don’t have a scoop.
