Healthy 'Nutella' Protein Balls

If you want something sweet and satisfying, this protein snack ball recipe is easy to make, full of flavor, and healthier than store-bought. They taste so good, you would never believe they were good for you – that might be my favorite thing about these protein balls. My second favorite thing? They are no-bake, so it’s about as low-effort as making a dessert can get.

Ingredients

2 cups dates, soaked 30 minutes and drained
1 1/2 cups hazelnuts, roasted, skinless
1 scoop protein or collagen powder
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Add all ingredients into a food processor and process until all ingredients are broken down and crumbly and the mixture becomes sticky and dough like. You want it to stick together when pressed between your fingers.
Take tablespoons of the mixture and roll into 16 1-inch balls (more or less).
Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.
