Cacao Spiced Collagen Bites

These little bliss balls are a lovely way to start the day, before the morning gets away from you. When you're busy getting breakfast on the table for little ones, it's easy to forget about yourself. Two of these give you 10 g protein, 15 g healthy fats and 11 g carbs, so you've got something nourishing in your belly while you look after everyone else.

• ½ cup almond flour
• ¼ cup walnuts, blitzed
• 2 tbsp cashew butter
• ¼ tsp ginger
• ¼ tsp mixed spice
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ cup (about 50 g) Maia Collagen
• 3 tbsp cacao powder
• ½ cup desiccated coconut, plus extra for rolling
• 2-3 tbsp coconut oil ✏️ 
• 3 tbsp maple syrup

Blitz the walnuts in a food processor. Add to a bowl with all remaining ingredients and mix with a spoon until well combined. If the mixture feels too crumbly, add a splash of water. Roll into 12 small balls and coat in desiccated coconut. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
