INGREDIENTS
- 6 Medjool dates
- 1/2 cup strong brewed espresso
- 1 scoop (30 g) Happy Way Deja Brew Coffee Whey Protein Powder
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1/4 cup Happy Way Organic Cacao Powder
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/4 cup coconut
- Pinch sea salt
METHOD
- In a bowl, soak the dates in the brewed coffee for 15 minutes. Drain the dates but don’t discard the brewed coffee.
- In a food processor, add the dates and pulse for 2 minutes.
- Add 1 tablespoon of the brewed coffee until the dates become a thick caramel-like paste.
- Add the rest of the ingredients into the food processor—almonds, coffee protein powder, cacao powder, chia seeds and sea salt. Pulse a few times until a dough-like mixture forms. If you want it crunchy, don’t blend for too long.
- Form the mixture into 1-inch bites, rolling by hand.
- On a board, add the coconut and roll the balls in the coconut so they're coated.
- Place on a tray and refrigerate until set and enjoy!
- You can keep the balls refrigerated in an airtight container for 1 week or in an airtight resealable freezer bag in the freezer for up to 3 months.
