Coffee Protein Balls

A grab and go snack? That's easy to make? And with a delicious coffee flavour? Yes, please! These FiXX Protein Balls are a perfect mid-morning snack. Packed full of energy to keep you going through the rest of your day.

Ingredients:

• 225g Medjool Dates (stones removed)
• 80g Rolled Oats (porridge oats)
• 50g Walnuts
• 70g Cashews (toasted is best)
• 25g Desiccated (shredded) Coconut
• 50ml FiXX Espresso (or strongly brewed coffee)
• 35g Toasted Sesame Seeds
• 1 tbsp Cocoa Powder
• 1 tbsp Maple Syrup
• A Pinch of Salt

Method:

1. Put your dates in a bowl and cover with water. Or better still, if you have some leftover, cold coffee, use that to enhance the coffee flavour.
2. Soak them for 30min to soften the dates.
3. While this is happening, toast your sesame seeds in a frying pan and leave them to one side to cool. If you've got time, toast your cashews too for more flavour.
4. When your dates are ready, drain and put them in a food processor along with all the other ingredients, except the sesame seeds.
5. Blitz until well combined.
6. Use your hands to roll into golf ball-sized balls.
7. Roll in toasted sesame seeds to thoroughly coat.
8. Then place them in the fridge for at least one hour before enjoying.
