Scale
- 1 cup strawberries, diced
- 2 cups granola
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup almond butter (or other nut/seed butter)

- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
- In a food processor or blender pulse the strawberries into very fine pieces. Add the granola along with the chia seeds, flaxseed meal, cinnamon, and pure vanilla extract and pulse to combine.
- Add the almond butter and maple syrup and pulse until well incorporated.
- Spoon the mixture into a medium bowl and fold in almond and coconut flour, adding more if needed until the mixture isn’t too sticky.
- Using 1 tablespoon of batter, roll them into balls and chill for about 15 minutes before enjoying.
- To coat them in a vanilla coconut butter shell, simply melt the coconut butter in a bowl and add the vanilla and pink pitaya powder if using. Roll each ball in the melted coconut butter to coat well and then place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet then place them in the fridge to chill and harden. Keep them stored in the fridge.
