Sweet Popeye Truffles

January 9, 2012 8 Comments

These Sweet Popeye Truffles are simple, sweet, and perfect fuel before and after workouts. Try packing them for a healthy snack in your kid’s lunch box

Ingredients:

1 cup raw almonds
1 1/2 cup oats
3 ripe bananas
2 cups fresh spinach
3 TBS cocoa powder
2 serving of your favorite protein powder (we used Vega Sport Performance Chocolate)
1/4 cup maple syrup

* Unsweetened shredded coconut for garnish

My new favorite plant based protein - Vega Sport Performance Chocolate

Directions:

Place all ingredients in a food processor fitted with the S blade, and process until the mixture forms a ball. DO NOT over process! Dough will become too soft. (If that happens add 2 TBS of raw oats and refrigirate for 30min before forming into balls)

Form into 3/4-inch balls and roll them in shredded coconut until evenly coated all over.

Store in a fridge or freezer.

Makes 30 truffles.

Enjoy

I just started listening to your podcasts and I’m getting great ideas. I will make this tonite, I know I will love them, we’ll see about my 8 and 13 yr. old kids and my 41 yr. old baby. Thank you.
