Instructions
Add the dates, almonds, cherries, cranberries, chia seeds, cacao powder and protein powder to a food processor. Add a small amount of cold water.
Process until the mixture is firm, but slightly sticky.
Roll the mixture into fifteen balls and then roll in the coconut.
Notes
Make sure to add the water a little at a time, as you may need a bit more or less.
You don't have to add protein powder. You could just use extra cacao or cocoa powder instead.
How long you blend these for will depend on the kind of consistency you want. If you want the nuts chunkier, then don't blend for as long.
