*Note for those of you who attend my early morning TRX classes you had the opportunity to try these this week! So glad to hear so many of you enjoyed them. I would encourage you to get creative with the flavorings and mix it up.*
Cinnamon Vanilla Trail protein balls
INGREDIENTS
1 cup raw almonds
1 cup raw cashews
1 cup pea protein powder
18 large medjool dates, pitted (10 ounces)
2-4 TBS water
FLAVORINGS
1 TBSP Cinnamon
1 TBSP Vanilla extract
INSTRUCTIONS
- In the bowl of your food processor, process almonds and cashews, until nuts have broken down into small pieces. If using additional flavors (I used cinnamon and vanilla here) add them with the first step.
- Add in pitted dates and pea protein powder, process until combined–the mixture will look a little dry. With the motor running about 1 tablespoon of water at a time until mixture is sticky and everything comes together. Depending on if your dates were juicy or dry, you may need less or more water.
- Once mixtures has come together and is sticky start rolling into balls, using your hands.
- Place pan in fridge for 1 hour, or freezer for 30 minutes before serving. Makes 12-16 balls.
- Enjoy!
