Ingredients
  

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1 cup almond flour

1/2 cup vanilla protein powder

1/4 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (for drizzling)

Optional: a pinch of sea salt for topping

Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, almond flour, vanilla protein powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly until all dry ingredients are well incorporated.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

      Form the Mixture: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredient bowl. Stir until everything is well combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky but manageable. If too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time until the desired texture is achieved.

        Shape the Balls: Use your hands to scoop out small portions of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls. Place them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.

          Chill: Once all the mixture is shaped into balls, transfer them to the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

            Melt the Chocolate: While the protein balls are chilling, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 15-second intervals while stirring until fully melted and smooth.

              Drizzle the Chocolate: Remove the chilled protein balls from the refrigerator. Using a spoon or a piping bag, drizzle the melted chocolate over each ball in a decorative manner.

                Optional Topping: If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the chocolate drizzle for an extra flavor dimension.

                  Final Chill: Place the chocolate-drizzled protein balls back into the refrigerator for an additional 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Serve these delightful Coconut Bliss Bites chilled or at room temperature! They make a perfect snack or protein-packed treat.
