I don't like using the word "never" when it comes to food, but for some products the word "never" is necessary. One of the things I would NEVER eat anymore is store bought "protein bars". They are usually just filled with artificial ingredients, tons of sugar, sometimes too much protein (which can be a bad thing), and usually unnecessary dairy products. Plus, they usually don't even taste that great! So I decided to make my own protein balls this weekend, and they came out too perfect that I simply had to share them will you all. They are the perfect on the go snack or the perfect topping to a smoothie bowl- yum!
Lemony Coconut Protein Balls
- 3/4 cup raw cashews
- 1/3 cup macadamia nuts
- 2 tbsps shredded coconut
- 2 scoops french vanilla protein powder of choice (I use vegaone, which is completely plant based)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 tsps lemon juice
- 1 tsp shredded lemon peel
- 1-2 tbsp stevia
Blend all ingredients together in blender or food processor, mold into little balls and enjoy! Makes about 6-8 balls
