1 cup pitted dates (I used honey dates, but medjool work too)*
1 cup unsalted cashews
pinch of sea salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 scoop vanilla whey protein
2 1/2 T rainbow sprinkles
Method
Add coconut to food processor and process for 5 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. Alternatively, skip this step and use a 1/4 cup of coconut butter – not coconut oil.
Add in dates and process until broken up into pea-sized bits.
Add in cashews, sea salt, vanilla extract, and whey protein.
Process until all ingredients come together. Mixture is done when you can roll dough into balls and they hold their shape.
Add in sprinkles and pulse several times to combine.
Roll into 18 balls and place in the freezer for 15 minutes.
