Ingredients
- 200g Medjool dates, pitted
- 1 scoop Protein Works Vegan Protein 360 in Vanilla
- 40g dark cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp syrup (honey, agave, maple, or golden syrup)
- 50g Protein Works Only Peanuts peanut butter (crunchy or smooth)
- 150g dark chocolate
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- Sea salt flakes, to top
Method
- Add the dates, protein powder, cocoa powder, syrup, and peanut butter to a blender or food processor. Blend until everything comes together into a thick, sticky dough.
- Scoop out even portions and roll firmly between your palms into smooth balls. Place on a lined baking tray.
- Melt the dark chocolate with the coconut oil – in the microwave in 30-second bursts or over a bain-marie – stirring until glossy and smooth.
- Roll each ball in the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off, then return to the tray.
- Top immediately with a pinch of sea salt flakes and transfer to the fridge for 30 minutes (or the freezer for 15) until set.
Meal prep tip: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months. They’re ready to eat straight from the freezer in just a few minutes – great for grabbing on the go.
