Cranberry Almond Power Bites

For a poppable protein snack, I enjoy these almond butter balls. These bites curb my hunger and a sweet tooth!

Cranberry Almond Power Bites

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup reduced sugar craisins 
• zest of 1 orange
• 1 tsp chia seeds 
• 1 1/2 cup almond butter
• 1/2 cup shredded coconut

In a mixing bowl, combine the craisins and orange zest. Add just a few drops of water to the bowl, and microwave for 15 seconds to partially re-hydrate the craisins. 

To the same bowl, add the chia seeds and almond butter. Stir until thoroughly combined. Using a small cookie scoop, spoon out about 1 tbsp of the mixture. Roll into a ball and cover in the shredded coconut. Repeat with the remaining mixture. Place the balls onto a place in a single layer. Chill for at least 1 hour.

Store the balls in an airtight container in the fridge.

Makes 10 balls
