I have been trying to lose weight this year, and I’ve been looking for healthy recipes to help me achieve that goal. Protein balls (or energy bites) are a great snack and give you both protein and energy in a small snack sized portion. These no bake cranberry date protein balls are really easy to make, packed with nutrition, and so good!
I am always looking for recipes to add my protein powder to, it really helps fill you up so that you don’t feel so hungry and feel the need to eat all of the time.

Cranberry Date Protein Balls Recipe
3 c. chopped dates
1 c. dried cranberries
1/2 c. slivered almonds
2 tbsp. coconut oil, melted
Place the chopped dates and dried cranberries in your food processor and pulse until crumbled. Add protein powder and almonds and continue to pulse until almonds are ground fine.
Slowly pour the coconut oil into the food processor while you continue to let the other ingredients mix. The mixture will slowly form a sticky ball.
