Skin-Healing Protein Balls

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup of almonds
  • 1 cup of organic rolled oats
  • 2 tbsp of chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp of ground flaxseeds
  • 2 tbsp of collagen powder
  • 1/4 cup of coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp of raw organic honey
  • 2 tbsp of cacao powder
  • Optional: Dried berries (e.g goji berries or cranberries) for extra antioxidants and sweetness.

METHOD

  1. In a food processor, blend the nuts and oats into a fine meal.
  2. Add the chia seed, flaxseeds, collagen powder, coconut oil, and cacao powder. Blend until well combined.
  3. Add raw honey and blend until the mixture is sticky enough to form balls. If too dry, add a bit more coconut oil or a splash of almond milk.
  4. Roll the mixture into small balls and place them on a tray lined with baking paper.
  5. Refrigerate the protein balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
