Lamington Protein Balls

Makes: 12
Ingredients:
1 cup instant oats
½ cup desiccated coconut
2 Tbsp cacao
1/3 cup Yes Please Vanilla Milkshake Protein
2 Tbsp coconut oil
2 Tbsp rice malt syrup
1/3 cup water
2 Tbsp strawberry jam (if you can get a low sugar option..get it!) 
¼ cup extra desiccated coconut for rolling 

Method:

1. Combine the oats, coconut, cacao and protein powder in a bowl.
2. Heat the coconut oil and rice malt syrup together in the microwave for 30 seconds, stir and add to the dry ingredients with the water.
3. Roll a heaped teaspoon of the mixture into a ball. Create a deep hole in the centre with your thumb and drop a little jam inside. Press the edges together to seal, roll to reshape into a ball then coat in coconut. Repeat with remaining mixture. Store in the fridge.
