Prep Time: 20 minutes
Course: Snack/Treat
Cuisine: Keto, Low-Carb, Paleo, Plant-Based
Servings: 25 balls

Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup pumpkin seed butter
  • 3/4 cup PurePaleo Protein Powder, vanilla, or PurePea Protein - vegan version
  • 1 tbsp raw coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp sprouted pumpkin seeds, or raw
  • 2 tbsp toasted coconut chips or shredded coconut, unsweetened
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Put pumpkin seeds and coconut chips into food processor and process into a fine crumble. Set crumble aside on a plate.
  • Add pumpkin seed butter, protein powder, coconut oil, vanilla extract and sea salt into the food processor and combine ingredients. Use a spatula to scrape sides if needed. Mixture should be dense and smooth so it can be pressed together. If it's too wet, add more protein powder. If it's too dry, add more coconut oil (1 tsp at a time).
  • Using a teaspoon, scoop mixture and form into small balls. If balls are too sticky to form, place mixture into the freezer for 10-minutes then remove and form balls.
  • Roll balls into the pumpkin seed and coconut crumble then place them in large shallow glass container, so they are not touching one another.
  • Store protein balls in the fridge or freezer for a frozen treat. Once the balls have firmed up, feel free to stack them in a smaller container.
