Almond Choc Balls
Looking for a delicious, nutritious chocolate snack that’s quick and easy to make?
These Almond Choc Balls are a yummy, healthier treat that’s perfect when you feel like something sweet! They’re packed with almonds, cacao and Herbalife’s Vanilla Shake Mix, making them a delicious snack you can enjoy anytime.
What you need:
- 1/2 cup of whole raw almonds (or almond meal)
- 5 spoons of Herbalife Vanilla Shake Mix
- 2 tablespoons of cacao powder
- 2 capfuls of vanilla essence or 1 teaspoon of vanilla paste
- 1 tablespoon of coconut oil (melted)
- 100 ml almond or soy milk
- 11 extra almonds (cut in half)
- Shredded coconut for coating
What to do:
- Place the jar of coconut oil into a bowl of hot water to melt before measuring.
- Place the raw almonds into a food processor and grind until finely chopped. If using almond meal, you can skip this step.
- Add the shake mix, cacao powder, vanilla and melted coconut oil, then process until well combined.
- Slowly add the almond or soy milk, a little at a time, until the mixture comes together. The consistency should be similar to peanut butter.
- Divide the mixture into small portions and leave to sit for a few minutes to firm up slightly. It may be quite sticky at this stage.
- Roll each portion into a smooth ball, then push half an almond into the centre of each ball.
- Roll each ball in the shredded coconut to coat.
- Place the balls in the freezer for about 20 minutes to set.
- Once set, store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer. This recipe makes approximately 22 balls, depending on the size you make them.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- Try different Herbalife Shake Mix flavours to create your own favourite combination.
- Experiment with different amounts of cacao powder to find the chocolate flavour you enjoy most.
- You can use almond meal instead of whole almonds to save time.
- Store the balls in the freezer for a firmer texture or in the fridge for a softer bite.
- Make them smaller for an easy grab-and-go snack.
