Ingredients 7
- ½ cup whole walnuts
- 15 Medjool dates, pitted
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons protein powder plus ½ Tbsp water (optional but recommended)
Method 2
- 01
In a large food processor, add the nuts and process until finely ground, a few seconds. Add the remaining ingredients and puree until a crumbly dough forms (when you squeeze it together, it will hold).
- 02
Scoop about 1 tbsp of the dough out, squeeze it together, and roll it into balls. (If you like, you can roll it in finely chopped coconut or nuts for styling, but they taste great plain.) Store the balls for 1 to 2 weeks refrigerated (best within 1 week); bring to room temperature before serving. You can also store at room temperature for 1 week if you prefer.
