Method
- Preheat the oven to 170°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Add the whey isolate, desiccated coconut, egg whites, melted coconut oil and sea salt to a bowl.
- Mix thoroughly until the ingredients hold together.
- Divide the mixture into 10–12 portions and shape into small rounds.

- Allow the macaroons to cool completely before serving.
Tips

- Dip the cooled macaroons in a little melted dark chocolate for an indulgent variation.
- Store in the fridge for a firmer texture.
