Here is the recipe for the Almond Butter Coconut Bites. I also posted it on the "Daily Accountability - Week #1" Challenge Forum (but couldn't get the pic to post there). If anyone tries them, let me know what you think. I love 'em!
ALMOND-BUTTER COCONUT BITES
Indulgent One-Bite* Treats Have Almost a Full Gram of Fiber (0.9g)
and Less than 1 Net Carb (.77g) in Each Little Morsel.
Makes 72 little 1/2” balls (each of which also has 90% RDA of Calcium and 94% Iron)! Full nutritional info is listed below the recipe.
INGREDIENTS
Milled Flaxseed – 1 cup (also called flax meal)
Whey Protein Powder – 1 scoop, unflavored
Vanilla Extract – 1 tsp.
Swerve Granular – 1/3 cup
Crunchy Almond Butter – 1-1/4 cup (Barney Butter)
Unsweetened Coconut Flakes – 1/2 cup (or Coconut Chips, processed for 1-2 secs.)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. If Almond Butter has separated in jar, stir thoroughly until it is a smooth consistency. (Note: If you want an even crunchier texture, use 1 cup smooth Almond Butter + 1/4 cup coarsely chopped salted almonds! Perfect blend of sweet & salty!)
2. In medium bowl, with electric mixer, beat Milled Flaxseed, Protein Powder, Vanilla, Swerve and Almond Butter, for about 1-2 minutes or until it begins to stick together well. (Put Almond Butter in bowl last, so it won’t stick to the bottom of the bowl.)
3. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate mixture for at least 1 hour (or up to 1 day) so mixture can firm up.
4. Shape mixture into 36 one-inch balls. (This can get messy, and I had to wash my hands once or twice during the process. Nitrile gloves would have worked perfectly!)
5. Then, pinch each ball in half and reshape into 72 one-half-inch balls.
6. Roll each 1/2” ball in coconut.
7. Store in covered container in fridge, or at room temperature.
