Ingredient Breakdown

Let’s dive into exactly what you need to make these amazing Coconut Protein Bounty Balls! Here’s what you’ll require:

2 cups shredded coconut
1/2 cup whey vanilla protein powder
2 tbsp coconut flour (optional for the vegan version)
1/3 cup coconut oil (melted)
1/3 cup full-fat coconut milk
2 tbsp maple syrup (optional)
3/4 cup dark chocolate (melted)

Let’s Get Cooking!

Now that you’ve got all your ingredients lined up, it’s time to make these Coconut Protein Bounty Balls. They’re super easy and, trust me, you’ll feel like a rockstar in the kitchen!

Mix it Up: In a large mixing bowl, combine your shredded coconut, protein powder, coconut flour (if using), melted coconut oil, coconut milk, and maple syrup. Give it a good stir, mixing everything together until it’s well combined and looks divine. About 3-5 minutes should do the trick.
Roll ‘em Up: Using your hands (the best tools you have), roll the coconut mixture into 1-inch balls. Don’t worry if they’re not perfect; they’ll still taste amazing!
Chill Out: Once you’ve rolled all the mixture into balls, place them on a plate or baking sheet and pop them in the freezer for about 1 hour. This will help them firm up nicely.
Melt the Chocolate: While those bad boys are chilling, you can melt your dark chocolate. I love using a double boiler for this. Just fill a saucepan with water and bring it to a simmer. Place a bowl over the pot (make sure it doesn’t touch the water) and add the chopped chocolate. Stir occasionally until it’s completely melted and silky smooth, about 5-10 minutes.
Dip and Decorate: Once the coconut balls have chilled, grab them from the freezer. Line a large baking pan with parchment paper and get ready for some chocolaty fun! Use a fork to dip each ball into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off. Place them on the lined baking pan. If you’re feeling fancy, drizzle a little extra chocolate over the top, because why not? And for a little kick, sprinkle on some fleur de sel if you like that sweet-salty combo!
Final Chill: Pop the chocolate-covered balls back into the freezer for about 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
Storage Magic: Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the coconut balls into an airtight container. They’ll keep refrigerated for up to a week, or you can freeze them for up to 3 months!

You see? Easy as pie… or should I say, easy as coconut balls! These are great for a quick snack or dessert, and your family will gobble them right up!
