Spicy Chocolate Protein Balls

Makes 22 balls

By Sarah Gilks

 

1 cup old fashioned oat (large flake)

1 cup old fashioned oats, ground

1 cup unsweetened coconut

¼ cup organic coconut oil, melted

4 scoops undenatured vanilla protein powder (we love Isagenix Isapro)

1 1/2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tsp cayenne pepper (more or less depending on how SPICY you like them!)

1 tsp cinnamon

½ cup unsweetened almond milk

 

**optional ~ 2-3 squares of dark chocolate, melted (we love green tea infused Isagenix Isadelights ~ note that this will change the nutrient value a little bit)

 

Mix all ingredients together in large bowl (except dark chocolate).  Form into balls and place on parchment lined cookie sheet.

 

Place in freezer for about 20 mins.  Melt chocolate over double boiler.  Dip top of each ball in chocolate, then place back in freezer for about 10 mins before storing in airtight container in fridge or freezer!
