Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Coconut Protein Balls
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of unsweetened shredded coconut, ½ cup of almond flour, and 2 tablespoons of vanilla protein powder. Use a whisk to break up any clumps in the flour and combine well.
  2. Pour in 3 tablespoons of honey and 3 tablespoons of water. Stir for about 3-4 minutes until it forms a cohesive dough.
  3. Grab a tablespoon or medium scoop, portion out the mixture, and roll each portion between your palms to create smooth balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
  4. Roll each ball in the extra coconut until evenly covered, adding to the visual appeal of your coconut protein balls.
  5. Place your coated coconut protein balls on a parchment-lined plate and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up.
  6. After chilling, serve them as a nutritious snack or dessert throughout the week.
