Chocolate Peanut Butter + Coconut Quinoa Protein Balls
Yield 18
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup cooked + cooled quinoa (i used an organ multi-colored quinoa)
- 1/2 cut rolled oats
- 1 scoop Designer Whey Chocolate Protein
- 1/4 cup all natural chunky peanut butter
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1/4 cup unsweeted coconut flakes, chopped fine
Instructions
- Place everything but the coconut flakes in a medium bowl. Stir together until everything is combined. If the mix seems too dry, add a teaspoon of water or a little extra honey.
- Roll into one-inch balls, then roll each ball into the unsweetened coconut.
- Store in an air-tight container in a fridge or freezer.
Notes
**use quinoa that was cooked in water, not chicken broth :) I always recommend cooking in broth, but not when when making it sweet. **use an all natural chunky peanut butter that is more on the runny side. Or microwave your peanut butter for 5-10 seconds until it's slightly runny. (see picture)
