Almond Chocolate Energy Balls

Dairy free, Gluten Free

Ingredients:

• ½ cup ground almonds
• ¼ cup almond butter (I used crunchy)
• ½ cup desiccated coconut (and more for rolling the balls in)
• 1 scoop chocolate pea protein powder (I use NuZest)
• 3 tbsp maple syrup
• 2 tbsp coconut oil (melt first)
• ¼ cup chia seeds
• 2 Tbsp raw cacao powder (you can get this easily in Lidl, Aldi, etc. or can use good quality cocoa instead)

Method:

• Melt the coconut first (I use a pot but you can use the microwave)
• Put all the ingredients into a bowl and mix really well
• Take about 1 heaped tsp of the mix and form into little balls with your hands and then roll in more coconut
• Chill in the fridge – these will last at least a week in the fridge if they don’t get eaten
