Chocolate Almond Butter Protein Balls image

I started making these protein energy balls when my doctor said I had low blood sugar and needed to add more protein to my diet. A great afternoon pick-me-up for kids and adults. You can take them to your gluten-free and raw friend's parties.

Time 2h30m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons coconut oil
¼ cup rice flour
2 squares semisweet chocolate
½ cup sesame seeds
1 cup almond butter
⅓ cup hemp seeds
¼ cup cocoa powder
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
2 tablespoons honey
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Melt coconut oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add rice flour; cook and stir until toasted, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chocolate and stir until just melted. Remove from heat.
  • Place sesame seeds in a small soup bowl.
  • Place almond butter, hemp seeds, cocoa powder, protein powder, honey, and salt in another bowl. Stir with a stiff silicone spatula. Add the rice flour mixture and stir to combine.
  • Measure out about 16 balls using a small ice cream scoop or 2 tablespoons. Roll between palms to shape balls; roll in the bowl of sesame seeds to coat. Roll again to secure the seeds. Place balls in a baking dish and cover with plastic wrap.
  • Refrigerate until firm, 2 to 4 hours. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
