Cake Batter Protein Bites
These vanilla-flavored protein balls are both satiating and delightful—they're delicious anytime of day. Best of all, they come together in no time. They're naturally vegan and gluten-free.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened, toasted coconut flakes
- 1/4 cup blanched almond flour
- 30 grams Vega Vanilla Protein Made Simple protein powder
- 1 tablespoon sprinkles (free of artificial colors, if possible)
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a food processor, pulse toasted coconut until it resembles a sand-like texture.
- To your food processor, add all remaining ingredients. Pulse until a dough ball forms. If the mixture is too dry (i.e. a dough ball does not form after 1-2 minutes), add 1-2 teaspoons of water. Pulse until the mixture sticks together.
- Scoop out one tablespoon of the mixture at a time, and roll into balls.
- Once the dough is rolled into small bites, top with additional sprinkles. This is optional (but highly recommended).
- Store these, covered, in the fridge for 5-7 days.
