Equipment

Ingredients

  • ¾ cups cashews
  • ½ cup Vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tbs coconut unsweetened, + more for rolling
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons brown rice syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons almond milk
  • 13 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1-2 teaspoon water optional

Instructions

  • In a small food processor, chop the cashews into a chunky flour- make sure not to grind them all into a flour, you want some texture left.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cashews, protein powder, one tablespoon of coconut, and sea salt.

  • Mix well and add in the brown rice syrup, vanilla, and almond milk.
  • Mix with a fork until everything is somewhat coated. Then, add in the maple syrup. If the mexture seems too dry or crumbly, add in a bit of water (one teaspoon at a time).

  • Using your hands, portion the mixture into balls and set on a piece of parchment paper when done. If rolling in extra coconut or chopped almonds, press the balls in firmly.

  • Place the balls in the freezer of the fridge for thirty minutes to set.

Notes

  • To prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands too much, rub some coconut oil on them as needed or splash some water.
  • Grab all the ingredients you need from my Pantry Staples.
  • The recipe makes 10 small balls, each serving is two balls.
  • You only need the water if you notice that the mixture is not sticking together while rolling it into balls.
  • Fermented protein powders absorb much more and thus will need more liquid. However, if using a protein powder like Botanica (grab it here) you will not need the water
  • The larger you leave the cashew pieces the harder it is to get the balls to stick together
  • You really need to squeeze the balls together when portioning to make sure they stick.
  • Rolling in extra coconut, mini chocolate chips, or chopped almonds is optional and not included in the nutritional breakdown.
