Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 3 Tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
  • 1/3 cup protein powder of choice, I used vanilla whey protein
  • 3 Tbsp chia seeds

Instructions

  • Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Use a wooden spoon to mix until the ingredients are smooth and well combined.
  • Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add coconut, protein powder and chia seeds to the bowl. Mix until well combined and the mixture sticks together.
  • Shape into Balls: Take approximately 1 tablespoon of the dough at a time and roll it between your palms to form balls. Place the balls directly into a Tupperware or storage container.
  • Repeat Rolling: Continue the rolling process until you've used all the dough.
  • Chill: Place the container in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the bliss balls have firmed up. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Store: In an air-tight container, refrigerated, for 1 week to 10 days.
 
  • Freeze & Thaw: Freeze bliss balls on a tray, then store them in a freezer-friendly container for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature for 30 minutes or in the fridge overnight.
