Chocolate Protein Snacks!

Did somebody say chocolate?  Sure did.  I didn't think it was possible, but these little protein balls are delicious AND nutritious!

Bonus: total time in the kitchen is 10-15 minutes.

SHOPPING LIST:

Eggs

Nut butter

Protein powder

Stevia

Vanilla extract

Coconut oil

Raw cacao

Raw honey

FOR THE COOKIE:

• 3/4 Cup Nut butter/Sunbutter (nut-free)
• 1 Cup Protein Powder  (I used Raw Fusion, rich chocolate, think the vanilla flavor would've tasted good too).
• 1/4 Cup Stevia
• 2 Eggs
• 2-3 TSP's Vanilla Extract

• Preheat oven to 325.  Add eggs, vanilla and stevia to bowl.  Mix.  Add nut butter and protein powder.  Mix.  Use non-stick spray on cookie sheet.  Make golf ball size cookies.  Press cookie down with fork.  Bake for 5/6 minutes.

FOR THE CHOCOLATE FROSTING:

• 1/2 Cup Coconut Oil
• 1/2 Cup Raw Cacao
• 1/2 Cup Nut Butter
• 1/4 Cup Raw Honey
• 1-2 TSP's Vanilla

• Stir together.

When cookies are out of oven, let them cool for 2/3 minutes.  OPTION to cut in half and put chocolate in middle, place half back on top.  MUST drizzle chocolate over all the cookies, until they are completely covered.  Freeze for 5-10 minutes and ENJOY!
