Fab looking recipe. We are making some date and almond protein balls to help me with my progress after weight loss. I’ll have to give these ones a try in future. The mint and honey sounds good.

Oh wow, they sound amazing. I can’t eat nuts but know my husband would love yours! Yum x
Wow what a great idea and I’ve been looking at ways to consume more protein.
I’m allergic to chocolate with Cocoa in and wonder if they would work with white chocolate?
I might try White chocolate and dried raspberries with the coconut and see how they come out.

These sound really yummy. Where can I get coconut oil – supermarket or do I need to go somewhere like H&B?

Hehe glad you liked it! Getting a bit obsessed with Gifs here x
These look great. Not keen on protein powders after seeing part of a documentary the others day and increase in kidney stones in users, but reckon I could adapt. I do love mint and chocolate flavours.
