Almond Power Ball

I couldn’t find a recipe for protein balls that included ingredients in my pantry so I whipped this one up! As you can tell, I like easy recipes and minimal mess. No fancy equipment. The addition of hemp hearts adds additional protein (2 tbsp is 10g of protein!) and healthy omega-3 and omega-6 fats to keep you full and satisfied for hours. These can be stored in the freezer and are perfect when you need a high protein snack between meals.

Ingredients:

• 8 prunes

• 1.5 cup rolled oats

• 1/2 warm water

• 1/2 cup ground almonds

• 1/2 cup hemp hearts

• 1/2 cup almond butter

• 2 tbsp honey

• 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted

• 2 tsp vanilla

• Shredded coconut to roll balls in (optional)

Instructions

1. Line a plate with parchment paper

2. Add prunes, almond butter, and warm water in any mixer/blender/bullet pulse until smooth

3. Add prune mixture to a large bowl along with everything else (except coconut)

4. Take a tablespoon to measure and roll the mixture into a ball. Roll in shredded coconut (if desired), and set on a plate to chill in the fridge
