Sometimes you just need a sweet, protein filled treat. Know what I mean? I have a sweet tooth, and if I don’t have a healthy option available I am likely to reach for something I don’t need. These cookie dough balls hit the spot! I love having them as a snack or dessert. My kids love them too! They are simple to make and require only a few ingredients.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup almond, peanut, or cashew butter. (my preference is almond butter)
1/2 cup shredded coconut (oats work too, but since I avoid grains, I use shredded coconut)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (Sun Warrior, or Nutiva are great choices)
Pumpkin Pie seasoning (add according to taste. I did about 1/2 tbsp)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Directions:
- Mix everything together in a bowl. It will be sticky, so it can take a few minutes to mix.
- Place in fridge for about 5 minutes. This helps for rolling them into balls.
- Remove from fridge.
- Scoop out a small spoonful and roll into little balls. (make them any size you want)
- Place in a container, store in the fridge, and eat them whenever you want!
