1tbspsugar-free maple syrup or liquid steviato taste about 20g if using syrup
1tspvanilla extract 5g
extra shredded coconut or hemp seeds; for coating as needed
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, shredded coconut, hemp seeds, chia seeds, protein powder, and salt.
Add the almond butter, melted coconut oil, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is fully combined. It should be soft but will firm up as the chia seeds absorb liquid.
Roll the mixture into 12 bite-sized balls.
Coat half of the balls in extra hemp seeds and the other half in extra shredded coconut.
Place the balls on a plate or tray and refrigerate for 15 minutes, or until firm.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
Chia seeds continue to absorb moisture after chilling, improving the texture.
Adjust sweetness to taste, depending on your protein powder.
