INGREDIENTS

4 scoops vanilla vegan protein

1 cup apple sauce

2 tbs coconut oil

1/2 cup raw cashews

1/3 cup of desiccated coconut 

1/4 cup flaked almonds

1 heaped tbs turmeric + extra for rolling

2 tsp ginger powder

2 tsp cinnamon

2 tbs almond meal

1 pinch of black pepper



HOW:

- Combine all dry ingredients except the nuts in a medium mixing bowl

- Roughly chop the raw cashews & sliced almonds, add to the bowl and combined thoroughly. These are going to be key for texturally exciting balls.

- Add wet ingredients to the bowl and mix until a dough like mix is formed.

- Now it's time to start Rollin'. Take a heaped tbs of the mix, roll in to balls about 1 inch in diameter. After you've rolled your balls lightly dust the balls/coat them in the remainder of the turmeric.

- Store the balls in an air tight container in the fridge, this will keep them fudge like.

- Enjoy the balls as a guilt free pre or post workout snack or just on the go.
