PINA COLODA ENERGY BALLS

PINA COLODA ENERGY BALLS



I am totally craving these! One of my favorite recipes hands down. Take me to the tropics, baby!

Ingredients:
2 cups of cashews
3 scoops Vanilla Protein Powder (I used Whey Gourmet Naturelle)
1/4 cup flax meal
1/3 cup unsweetened coconut
1/3 cup dried pineapple, chopped small
splash of coconut extract (vanilla will do)
1/4 cup of pineapple juice
1 cup dates
squeeze of lemon juice


Directions:
1. Add your two cups of cashews to your food processor and blend until it is flour.
2. Add your 3 scoops protein powder and pulse until blended.
3. Add your unsweetened coconut, chopped pineapple and ground flax and pulse until blended.
4. Add the vanilla extract, lemon juice, dates, and pineapple juice. Blend until dough texture.
5. Remove the dough from the food processor and place in a bowl. Begin rolling protein balls into 1 inch balls.
6. Roll protein balls in coconut until completely covered (I prefer to toast the coconut).
7. Place balls on a plate or in a container, cover and place in the fridge. (I keep mine in the freezer and eat them right from there).

This recipe made 30 (about a heaping tablespoon each)
