Salted Cookie Dough Balls

A date free energy ball? That tastes like cookie dough? Yes PLEASE! 

Chewy but nut crumbly with a natural boost thanks to Cacao Nibs. These are a hit and were recently featured in my Sugar Reset challenge and as part of the Back to Wellness Campaign with Hip & Healthy Magazine

Ingredients:

-       1 cup natural flavoured protein powder (I used Motion Nutrition Roasted Peanut Protein Powder or NuZest Clean Lean Protein

-       3 tablespoons ground almonds

-       1 cup cold water

-       ½ cup almond butter

-       1 cup millet flakes (use oats if not able to find millet)

-       ¼ cup Cacao Nibs

-       ½ teaspoon Ceylon Cinnamon

-       ½ bar 85% dark chocolate

To make:

1)    Add protein powder, ground almonds, Ceylon Cinnamon and water in a bowl and combine

2)    Add nut butter and millet combining until crumbly

3)    Once crumbly, add cacao nibs and a splash more water if needed until combined into a cookie texture dough

4)    Use coconut oil to ‘grease’ your hands and use a table spoon to scoop out the dough into your hands and roll into equal balls

5)    Place onto a lined tray and place in the freezer for 30 minutes.

Remove from the freezer and store in the fridge for up to 5 days

Optional:

Place 80g of dark chocolate in a bowl over simmering water

Remove from the freezer and place onto a plate, drizzle dark chocolate over the balls.

Place back into the fridge for the chocolate to harden and chill
