Method
Place the orange juice in a small saucepan, along with dates. Place over low heat for a few minutes until the mixture starts to simmer. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool to room temperature, before mashing the mixture together with a fork.
Blend almonds in a food processor until finely chopped. Add protein powder, cocoa powder (reserving 1 tablespoon to dust), vanilla, orange zest and the cooled date mixture, and process until well combined.
Roll into 16 balls, dust with the reserved cocoa and place in an airtight container in the fridge to chill before serving.
These will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
