Cookie Dough protein balls

Cookie dough protein balls

What you'll need:

1/2 cup almond meal

3  scoops of cookies and cream  protein powder (I'm using Optimum Nutrition Gold standard Whey)
2 teaspoons of Cacao nibs

2 tablespoons of natural smooth peanut butter (can use crunchy)

1/2 teaspoons of coconut oil 
2 teaspoons of Nativa (or alternate sweetener)
hot water

shredded coconut (for rolling in after)

What to do: 

First of all in a medium sided bowl add all the dry ingredients and mix until its all well combined. Then add the peanut butter and coconut oil. Gradually add the hot water (using hot water will help to melt the coconut oil and peanut butter making it easier to combine) You want the mixture to be similar to cookie dough. Then once its all combined, scoop out same sized amounts and roll into balls, then roll in the coconut to coat the outside.

place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow them to firm up.
 

 Absolutely delicious! even my bf took some to work and they were a massive hit!
