These clean eating snacks come together in a snap and are the perfect way to curb your hunger throughout the day.
Ingredients
Protein Ball Ingredients:
- 5 Medjool Dates, soaked in hot water with stem & seeds removed
- 1 scoop Protein Powder (I love this one from Tone It Up)
- 1 scoop Collagen Peptides (This one from Thrive Market is great)
- 4 T. Almond Butter
- 2 t. Chia Seeds
- 1 t. Coconut Oil melted
- 1 t. Maca Powder (I used the one from Thrive Market)
Instructions
-
Begin by heating hot water and then pouring it over the dates to soften them. Let the dates soak, and then remove the seeds and stems and cut into quarters.
-
In a food processor add all of the ingredients, and then process until the mixture is well combined and can be formed into balls.
-
Use your hands to press 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of the mixture together until you can easily roll it into a ball. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for later.
