Ingredients
Filling:
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond butter
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 scoops of Renewed Health’s Collagen
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Coating:
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 tsp coconut oil (optional)
Instructions
- Add all of the filling ingredients to a medium sized bowl (start with 3 scoops of collagen. If the filling is too runny, add more gradually until a thick consistency is formed. If too dry, add some more almond butter). Mix all ingredients together until well combined.
- Roll the dough into balls about 1 tbsp in size (making approx. 12 bites). Place them on a plate or small baking sheet.
- Place them in the freezer for a minimum of 15 minutes to firm.
- While they are freezing, you can get the coating ready. Put the dark chocolate and coconut oil in a small sauce pan. Melt on stove top over low heat, stirring frequently.
- Once the filling has firmed, take them out and roll them individually in the chocolate and set aside on parchment paper.
- Optional - you can choose any topping of your choice to add to the chocolate before it sets. (Ex. Salt, chopped fruit, cream drizzle, etc.)
- Once the chocolate sets, enjoy! Store them in the fridge or freezer.
