Peanut Butter Protein Balls

Ingredients

• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/4 cup desiccated coconut
• 1/2 cup Body Collagen vanilla
• 1/2 cup desiccated coconut, plus extra for rolling

Method

1. Place the peanut butter and honey in a large bowl and use a spoon to mix them together a little.
2. Add the oats, desiccated coconut and Body Collagen to the bowl and mix well. They should form a slightly sticky dough, with a consistency where it can be rolled into balls. Once the mixture has largely come together, you can test it by rolling a bit into a ball with your hands. If it’s too dry add a small dash of water until it reaches the right consistency.
3. Roll heaped tablespoons of the dough into balls and then roll in the extra desiccated coconut to coat.
4. Place the balls in the fridge to firm up a little. Enjoy!
