These coconut and almond protein balls are super easy to make and are suitable for those on a low-carb and even ketogenic diet. These are the "fit" and sugar-free version of the sweets that start with an R and end with "ello" (because you know I can't spell the whole name, in case someone gets pissed). If you like coconut and are looking for a delicious, healthy and no-bake treat (therefore perfect when it's hot) here is the recipe.

Preparation
- Melt the coconut oil in a bowl in the microwave.
