3 Ingredient Strawberry Protein Balls
makes 6 small protein balls
Ingredients
- ¼ cup strawberry puree about 5 medium strawberries
- ⅓ cup coconut flour
- ⅓ cup vanilla protein powder*
Instructions
- Puree the strawberries either in a small blender (like NutriBullet) or using a mortar and pestle. You can also finely mash the strawberries with a fork.
- Mix the strawberry puree, coconut flour, and protein powder of choice into a bowl and mix well.*
- Add more coconut flour if the dough is too soft, add a teaspoon or more of water, honey or liquid sweetener of choice if the dough is too thick**
- THIS IS OPTIONAL: add some chopped strawberries into the dough to add texture
- Roll the dough into tablespoon sized balls, and it's done! For best results, set the protein balls in the fridge for 15 minutes before eating.
Notes
*if using unsweetened protein powder, please add 1-2 Tbsp of sugar, to taste
**I find that it’s best to use my hands to mix the dough because it takes some kneading and pressing to get the dough to come together.
