INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup raw almonds

• 1/8 teaspoon sea salt

• 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Add almonds to a food processor or high-speed blender. Process nuts a few minutes until a creamy almond butter forms.

2. Add raisins and mix until smooth.

3. Add in the protein powder and salt; blend until thoroughly combined.

4. Roll dough into 24 balls, coat each ball with shredded coconut, and place on a plate or pan.
