Simple, three ingredient, power-packed snack for all my sweet toothed people out there!
Date balls have been taking over the vegan, raw, and healthy food scene over the last few years. But, I had never thought to try making them before. Until now, that is! I tried making them for the first time with this super simple recipe and WOW they turned out absolutely delicious!
These protein date balls are:
– super easy to make
– require only three ingredients

– and are perfectly bite sized for on-the-go!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Date Balls
The ultimate go-to snack that packs a sweet and protein filled punch!
Prep Time: 10 minutes – Yield: 7 date balls (about 1″ diameter)
Ingredients:
– 3 tbsp chocolate protein powder
– 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
– 15 dates (I used medjool)
Instructions:
- Remove the pits/seeds from the dates and place them in a food processor.
- Blend the dates on high until they form into a thick paste.
- Place paste, protein powder, and peanut butter into a medium bowl and combine (with your hands) until they’re thoroughly combined.
- Separate your dough into 5-7 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
- If you’d like, you can roll the balls in shredded coconut, but that is optional.
- Enjoy!
