There is no reason to buy sugary, preservative filled protein bars when you can whip this recipe up in no time! This recipe is gluten free and packed with nutrients.
Whey protein powder-An easily digestible way to add protein to your diet.
Almonds-Contain mono-saturated fats, vitamin E, and magnesium.
Dates-Loaded with fiber and vitamins and help aid in digestion.
Walnuts-A great source of omega 3 fatty acids.
Coconut-A good source of fiber.
Ingredients:
1/4 c natural almond butter
1 scoop vanilla whey protein (I like Optimum Whey Vanilla Ice Cream)
6 medjool dates, pitted
1 c walnuts, chopped
3 tbs water
1 tsp vanilla
2 tbs ground flax seeds
Unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted, for rolling
1. Put dates and two tablespoons of water in the food processor until smooth.
2. Mix date puree and all remaining ingredients except coconut until it becomes a thick dough (if too thick or too dry add a bit more water).
3. Roll dough into a dozen bite size balls and roll in coconut.
Enjoy!
