These are my go to summer treat! The fact that you can whip these up in twenty minutes make them even sweeter. Protein powder, shredded almonds and coconut oil mean these balls are packed with those feel good nutrients. Use this recipe the next time you need a little island-style break and satisfy that sweet craving at the same time!

» 1 cup shredded coconut

Mash up raspberries in a mixing bowl. Mix in shredded coconut, almonds and protein powder. Melt coconut oil separately in the microwave and add to mixture.
