Here is a recipe for some no bake creamy cocoa balls. I rolled them into oats for the outer layer but slivered almonds would work too! They are rich and delicious.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1/4 cup pb2 or whey protein powder (vanilla or cocoa)

2 Tablespoons chia seeds

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 Tablespoons of monk fruit (or Stevia drops to taste)

Unsweetened vanilla almond milk

About 2/3 cup oats (to cover the outside.)

Add a splash and mix until desired consistency. You want them to hold together. They may be slightly sticky. I used a spoon to form into imperfect balls and rolled the outside into oats. This makes a nice pad for them to lay on in your plate without sticking.
