RED VELVET CHIA AND OAT PROTEIN BALLS

Ingredients
½ cup whole rolled oats
3 tablespoons desiccated coconut
2 tablespoons chia
2 tablespoons beetroot powder
1 tablespoons cacao
3 tablespoons cup honey
¼ cup coconut oil
¼ cup hot water
¼ pure pomegranate juice
Extra cacao for dusting

Method

  1. Place rolled oats, coconut, chia. beetroot powder, cacao into a blender to roughly chop the ingredients. Remove from the blender and place into a medium sized bowl.
  2. Melt the honey and coconut oil on a low heat (on stove or microwave) until melted and mixed together. Remove the honey and coconut oil mixture from the heat and add to the dry mixture.
