Protein Balls

2  tbsp cocoa powder unsweetened

1/2  cup natural sunflower / pumpkin seed butter

1/4  cup chia seeds

1  tsp vanilla essence

1  tbsp maple  syrup

1/3  cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/ Melt coconut oil.

2/ Put all ingredients "except melted coconut oil, maple syrup & coconut" into a bowl and mix.

3/ Add melted coconut oil & maple syrup and mix until combined. Place the mixture in the fridge for 30 minutes to allow the chia seeds to soak up the excess liquid and the coconut oil to set.

4/ Spread shredded coconut out onto a flat dinner plate or tray.

5/ Take one heaped tablespoon of the mix and roll it into a ball in the palm of your hand.

6/ Roll the ball in the shredded coconut until coated and place on a tray lined with baking paper.

7/ Place the tray in the refrigerator for 1 hour, or until the balls have firmed up.

Keep them in the fridge - they will keep for a week.
