Recipe: Sugarless lemon pie protein balls

Lemon pie protein balls | sugar-free dessert

Sometimes you just need something sweet. Here at the Sydney Holistic Dental Centre, we enjoy finding alternatives to traditional sugar-laden desserts. Here is a delicious preservative, gluten, sugar-free dessert or snack option inspired by Lola Berry‘s Lemon Pie Bites (we have excluded the maple syrup and added 180 Nutrition‘s coconut protein powder).

Ingredients

• 200g (2 cups) almond meal
• 60g (3/4 cup) desiccated or shredded (for a chunkier ball) coconut
• juice of 3 lemons
• zest of 1 lemon
• 2.5g (1/2 tsp) vanilla bean powder or 1 vanilla pod, split and scraped
• 125mL (1/2 cup)  coconut oil, melted
• pinch of Himalayan rock salt
• shredded or desiccated coconut, for rolling
• 1/2 cup of 180 Nutrition Coconut protein powder

Instructions

Put all the ingredients in a bowl (except the coconut for rolling) and either use a wooden spoon or a hand mixer to blend together. Once the ingredients are combined, place a teaspoon of the mixture into your palm and roll it into a little ball. Then roll the ball in the coconut set aside for rolling. Place in a Tupperware container and store in the fridge or freezer. Then enjoy!
