No-Bake Protein Balls Recipe 

Ingredients

Brazil Nuts (1 ½ cups) 

Ezra Cohen Montreal Brazil nut butter (1/4 cup)

Raisins (1/4 cup)

Cinnamon (1 tsp)

Chia Seeds (2 tbsp)

Sea salt (pinch)

Vanilla extract (1 tsp)

Protein powder (1/2 cup)

Melted coconut oil (1/4 cup)

Chopped Brazil nuts (for garnishing)

Instructions

Add Brazil nuts (1 ½ cups) to your food processor and process it for approximately twenty to thirty seconds, so there are still chunks of nuts left. Then add the remaining ingredients and process it all until well mixed. 

Roll one tablespoon of the mixture into a ball, then roll it over the chopped Brazil nuts. Do this with the remaining mixture and then store it in an airtight container in the fridge to get softer balls. If you prefer a harder consistency, then we recommend storing them in the freezer.
