INGREDIENTS:

  • One cup of almond butter
  • One tsp. vanilla extract
  • One cup of coconut shreds
  • Three tbsp.  ground flax seeds
  • Salt
  • Three tbsp. chia seeds
  • Two scoops of keto vanilla protein powder
  • Three tbsp. keto maple syrup
  • One tbsp. coconut oil

INGREDIENT NOTES:

ALMOND BUTTER:

  • We have to use natural, unsweetened almond butter to make the foundation of these protein balls. It will also add healthy fats, provide a creamy texture, and help bind all the ingredients together.

KETO COCONUT SHREDS:

  • These keto coconut shreds will add the chewy texture and light sweetness, and they also pair nicely with the almond butter. We have to use unsweetened coconut to keep these protein balls low in carbs.

GROUND FLAX SEEDS:

  • Ground flax seeds will add the chewy texture and bulk similar to oats, and they also help bind the mixture together. They contain lots of fiber and keep these protein balls keto-friendly.

KETO VANILLA PROTEIN POWDER:

  • Add the keto vanilla protein powder to these protein balls so it blends equally in the mixture and offers a rich vanilla flavor. It will also increase the protein content while keeping the recipe keto-friendly.

CHIA SEEDS:

  • Use chia seeds to naturally bind the mixture once they absorb moisture. They will also help the protein balls become firm after chilling.

KETO MAPLE SYRUP:

  • It will add the sweet taste without the extra carbs and will also help moisten the mixture. We have to use sugar-free maple syrup made with allulose, erythritol, or monk fruit for the best flavor.

VANILLA EXTRACT:

  • It will add the pleasant sweet aroma and enhance the overall flavor of these protein balls. It is best to utilize pure vanilla extract for the strongest flavor and aroma.

COCONUT OIL:

  • Use coconut oil to add smoothness and help the protein balls firm up after chilling. Refined coconut oil is best to provide a mild flavor without a strong coconut taste.

SALT:

  • It will add depth to the taste and balance the sweetness of these protein balls, and it should be added in a small amount. Salt will also help to enrich the overall flavor profile of these protein balls.
