1 15 oz can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
¼ c. Wellness Whey vanilla protein powder (or Paleo Protein for dairy free)
2 Tbsp sun butter or natural peanut butter
1 Tbsp coconut sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp sea salt
2 Tbsp dairy-free dark chocolate chips or dried cherries

Directions:

1. Add chickpeas to a large food processor and process until smooth. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides.
2. Add remaining ingredients and process until a ball of dough forms.
3. Use a rubber spatula to separate the dough a bit, add chocolate chips OR cherries and pulse 2-3 times or until chocolate chips get dispersed in the dough.
