Cranberry Orange Protein Balls
A healthy paleo snack recipe, these cranberry orange protein balls are a delight to consume!
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup raw walnuts
- 1/2 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
- 3 to 5 large pitted dates (I use 3)
- 1 cup juice-sweetened dried cranberries
- 2 tsp orange zest
- 1/4 cup sunflower seed butter or almond butter
- 3 Tbsp coconut oil or flax oil
- 2 scoops hemp protein powder or protein powder of choice
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Add all ingredients into your food processor and process until a thick dough-like mixture forms. It will be crumbly - this is okay!
- Transfer the ball mixture to a sealable container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This helps the ingredients set up so that it’s easier to form the balls. If you try to form the balls right away, they will often crumble and not hold together.
- Store the balls in a sealable bag or container in the refrigerator or freezer.
