Triple C Protein Balls

I love protein balls. They are an an ideal snack because they are packed with protein and good fats plus other healthy, energizing ingredients. I call these the Triple C because they have cacao, cashew and coconut.

Triple C Protein Balls 

Ingredients:

4 tbsp. almond butter (or sun or cashew butter)

4 tbsp. cacao powder

2 tbsp coconut oil

1 tbsp. chia or ground flax seed

1 scoop protein (hemp, pea or soy)

1 tbsp shredded coconut

1 tbsp raw honey or agave (or Stevia 6-10 drops or more if you like sweeter)

1 cup crushed cashews (add  tbsp of shredded coconut for a bigger coconut flavor)

1/4 tsp of sea salt (optional)

Directions:

Combine all ingredients, except crushed cashews, into a large bowl. Mix together. If necessary, add a tbsp of water at at a time until desired consistency – they should be firm.

Roll the dough into small balls, roll in crushed cashews and put on a cookie sheet. Eat them right away or put in freezer for 10-12 minutes to serve cold.  Best stored in refrigerator.

**Great for those sugar cravings, when you need something to give you a little boost, or to hold you over to your meal.  Put in little party cups and serve as a sweet party treat both kids and adults will love!!!
