1 cup unsalted almond butter (or other nut butter)
1 teaspoon almond extract
1¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
¾ cup whey protein powder (or hemp/ pea protein for a whey-free alternative)
½ cup slivered almonds
2 Tablespoons hemp seeds
2 Tablespoons chia seeds
1-2 teaspoons stevia (to your taste level)
Instructions
In a bowl add the almond butter and the almond extract and using a spatula or a wooden spoon, stir to combine.
Add the rest of the ingredients: shredded coconut, protein powder, almonds, hemp seeds, chia seeds and stevia. Completely mix to combine. It may be hard to do because it can get pretty dry and that exactly what you want
Using a cookie scoop or small spoon form into balls and set on a cookie sheet
Put the cookie sheet into the fridge or freezer until they set. Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer. I prefer to store mine in the freezer
