Wanted to share in case anyone else needed a little energy boost during the day 💗
It’s a chocolate peanut butter protein ball. I made it simple because I know not everyone has the crazy amounts of ingredients that I do in my kitchen 🙈🤪 haha
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup oats
2 tbsp peanut butter
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tbsp honey
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
4 dates (pitted)
2 tbsp water
Pinch of salt
HOW TO:
Combine all ingredients in a food processor and mix until mixture becomes chunky
scoop out a little bit and roll into a 1 inch ball
makes approximately 12 to 14 balls
Store in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes
While you’re waiting you can make the chocolate sauce to go on top 😋
CHOCOLATE SAUCE:
3 tbsp coconut oil
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2-3 tbsp maple syrup
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch salt
*whisk together over low-med heat until melted and combined
FINISHING TOUCHES:
Take your chilled pb protein balls out from the fridge and dip into chocolate sauce
Top it off with cacao nibs, h**p seeds, Gigi berries, shredded coconut, anything your heart desires
Then place on plate, Tupperware or parchment paper and let harden in fridge or freezer.
NOTES:
- you will have extra chocolate sauce, you can use it on fruit, popcorn, granola, in a smoothie, the possibilities are endless!
- if you ❤️pb like I do add an extra tbsp
- chocoholic? 🍫 Add an extra tbsp cocoa or chocolate chips
- if you add extra cocoa or pb, or maybe you just like sweet things add 1-2 more tbsp honey
- no honey 🍯? No problem try: maple syrup, extra dates, or ripe bananas
- Don’t like peanuts 🥜? Sub so almond butter
- Want extra protein add in h**p seeds or chia seeds
Hope this helps keep you energized and full throughout your day!
