Another day, another protein ball recipe! This time featuring Chocolate Coconut Protein Balls. I’ll admit, I never used to like coconut. However, over the past few years I have come to not only like it but quite honestly love it! I love how fresh and flavourful it is. I also love how coconut can transport me to a tropical island. It has become somewhat of a comfort flavour for me!
But enough about me and coconut. Let’s talk about these Chocolate Coconut Protein Balls. As most of my protein ball recipes, they are easy to make gluten free by simply using gluten free oats. Further to that, they are just as easy to make vegan by swapping the honey for maple syrup. Not only that but they are packed with flavour and protein!
I recently posted my Chocolate Protein Almond butter which includes a big ole scoop of protein powder. That combined with the chocolate chips give it the perfect chocolate flavour. While the coconut inside and on top of the ball make it irresistible.
These Chocolate Coconut Protein balls are a great snack after a workout or in the middle of the day. My husband loves to have these for breakfast with his morning coffee. He finds they stick with him all morning.
Lastly, like all of my protein ball recipes, they are no-bake making them extra easy to whip up when you’re in a pinch.
