Happy New Year everyone. Here is a sweet treat to bring in the new year. Fortunately, this treat is a low calorie and high protein option that makes a perfect 3 p.m. pick-me-up. Also, it only has 6 ingredients.
Ingredients:
8 servings PB2 powdered peanut butter (16 tablespoons)
1 scoop muscle tech whey protein powder (20 gms of protein for 120 calories). I used vanilla but feel free to experiment with other compatible flavors like chocolate
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
10 mejdool dates (pitted)
2 tsp coconut oil
1/2 cup water
Method:
In a food processor, pulse shredded coconut, PB2, protein powder and dates until well combined.
Once the dates have broken down to smaller pieces, add about half a cup of water slowly as you pulse the ingredients to form a dough like ball. Incorporate water little by little so not to make the mixture runny. Add one tsp of coconut oil and mix well. Apply the other tsp of coconut oil to hands and form 10 golf ball sized balls. Chill for about a couple of hours and store in the fridge.
