• 1 cup almond meal

• ½ cup Vanilla PROTEIN {Collagen + WPI}

• 2 cups desiccated coconut (for the mixture)

• ⅓ cup honey

• 1 cup desiccated coconut (for rolling)

2. Roll: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into smooth balls using lightly damp hands.

3. Coat: Roll each ball in the remaining desiccated coconut until evenly coated.

4. Chill: Place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Make It Yours

• Nut-free: Swap almond meal for sunflower seed meal.

• Lower sweetness: Reduce honey slightly and add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla for flavour.

• Extra texture: Add 1–2 tablespoons of chia seeds or finely chopped nuts.

• Chocolate twist: Dip half the ball in melted dark chocolate and allow to set.

Serving & Storage Notes

• Best enjoyed chilled straight from the fridge.

• Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
