Vegan salty balls

Original recipe from Hannah Grant via her @dailystews Instagram account. Modified as to what I had to hand, with some thoughts for next time...

- 130g dark roast crunchy peanut butter (next time try smooth, either almond, cashew or coconut)
- 5.5tbsp maple syrup (used half honey as I ran out of syrup)
- 50g Vive chocolate protein powder
- 50g oats (basic porridge oats so not whizzed to flour, but would try next time)
- 25g desiccated coconut
- large pinch salt
- juice and zest of 1 lime (thought this would go better with the chocolate protein)
- 1 tsp cocoa powder (my addition)

I was able to press and roll these into balls rather than cutting into squares, I think squares would have been more difficult.

This made 24 x 15g balls. Each: 64 calories, 3.5g protein, 5g carbs, 3.5g fat. They taste pretty good and are a nice alternative to the date/cocoa based ones I've done before. More lime, more salt next time = margarita balls ;)
