Need a healthy, sweet, and simple recipe for a delicious holiday snack? It takes about 20 minutes of your time to easily whip up a batch of this Christmas pudding flavored gluten-free protein balls recipe.
– 1 cup dates pitted– 1/2 cup raisins– 1/4 cup coconut protein powder or your favorite vanilla protein powder– 1/2 cup pecans– 1 tablespoon orange juice fresh-squeezed– 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon– 1/4 teaspoon all spice– 1 teaspoon orange zest fresh– 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
– Scoop the dough using a small cookie scoop into approximately 12 even-sized balls. Roll the ball in the palm of your hand to pack the mixture tight. Place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and chill for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Slowly melt the white chocolate in a double boiler. Remove balls from the refrigerator and top with a dollop of chocolate, encouraging slight drips down the side of the ball.
