Protein coconut balls are a delicious, healthy snack perfect for satisfying cravings while boosting your protein intake. Here’s an easy, step-by-step guide to making them at home.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored works best)
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup nut butter (almond or peanut butter)
- 2-3 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- Optional: 1 tbsp chia seeds or dark chocolate chips
Instructions:
1. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine protein powder and shredded coconut.
2. Add wet ingredients: Stir in nut butter, sweetener, and milk. Mix until a thick dough forms. If it’s too dry, add a splash more milk; too sticky, add a bit more protein powder.
3. Shape the balls: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls using your hands. For extra coconut coating, roll each ball in additional shredded coconut.
4. Chill: Place the balls on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. These bites are great as pre-workout fuel or a quick afternoon treat. Customize with your favorite add-ins like nuts or dried fruit for variety!
