Ingredients
- 1/2 cup dried berries (e.g., cranberries or mixed berries)

Instructions
- In a food processor, pulse the dried berries, oats, shredded coconut, whey protein, flaxseed, and cinnamon until well combined and finely chopped.

- Roll each ball in additional shredded coconut, if desired, for coating.
- Place on a baking sheet or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
