Chocolate Pistachio Protein Balls

Ingredients:

• 6 oz. Dark Chocolate (roughly chopped)

• 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder

• 1 1/2 tbsps. Vanilla Protein Powder

• 2/3 cup Sunflower Seed Butter (Can substitute with Almond or Cashew butter)

• 1 cup Pistachios (removed from shell, divided)

​

Steps:

1. Add the dark chocolate, cocoa powder, protein powder, sunflower seed butter, and half the pistachios to a food processor and blend until well mixed and sticky. Add more sunflower seed butter if the mixture is too dry, or more pistachios if too wet.

2.  Transfer to a mixing bowl and form into even balls with your hands, roughly one-inch in diameter.

3. Crush the remaining pistachios and coat each ball evenly. Store in the fridge or freezer until ready to enjoy.
