Salted Caramel Truffles

 

Yes, this is happening. Oh, and they are raw, vegan, gluten-free, packed with antioxidants and make you happy!

Each Truffle has 10g protein and 100 calories, perfect energy source throughout and after a long workout

My recommendation: make 2 batches

Ingredients:

5 Dates, pitted

3 Scoops Vanilla Vegan Protein Powder (Whey works great if you aren't vegan!)

1 Tbsp PB2 Powder (powdered peanut butter)

1/2 Cup Almonds

1/4 tsp Caramel Extract *optional, if you don't have it, they still taste like caramel*

1 Tsp Agave Nectar or Raw Honey

1/4 tsp Sea Salt

2 Tbsp Cacao powder (Baking cocoa works too)

Instructions:

In a food processor: blend the dates, protein powder, PB2, almonds, caramel extract, and agave nectar for about 15 minutes, depending on your food processor. It will gradually form one big ball of dough. If it is too dry after 20 minutes of processing, add just a tiny bit of almond milk, but really try to be patient- it will be worth the wait!

In a separate dish, combine the sea salt and cacao.

Form the dough into 12 small balls, and roll them each in the salt & cacao mix until evenly coated. Store in fridge

Seriously, make 2 batches, maybe more.
