Description
5-ingredient balls packed with greens and healthy fats. Kale, coconut butter, and avocado with protein powder and unrefined coconut sugar.
Ingredients
- 2 scoops vanilla plant-based protein powder
- 1 cup chopped spinach or kale
- 1 avocado
- 2/3 cup coconut butter (softened)
- 1/4 cup unrefined coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup hemp hearts (optional)
Instructions
- To soften your coconut butter, add the entire jar to a bowl of hot water in the sink and allow it to sit for 15-30 minutes, changing the water if it gets cold. Remove the jar from the water and check the consistency by stirring with a knife and adding back to the water if it needs more heat to soften. Smoother coconut butter is best for this recipe.
- Add the coconut butter and all remaining ingredients to a high-speed blender or food processor and pulse until well-combined, scraping down the sides as needed to recombine. You want to ensure all of the leafy greens are broken down and smooth in the mixture. This process may take several minutes.
- Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and freeze it for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, roll the chilled dough into ~1.5 TBSP balls. Roll in optional hemp hearts and serve them immediately.
- Store the leftover balls in the fridge for one week and freeze them for long term storage.
