Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- ½ Cup Almond flour (or almond meal)
- 2 Scoops Whey Protein (chocolate flavor)
- 2 Tbsp Cocoa powder
- 2 Tbsp Almond butter (or cashew or sunflower butter)
- 2 Tbsp Honey (or maple syrup)
- 2 Tbsp Water
- ½ Cup Mini chocolate chips (Dark)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, chocolate whey protein powder, and cocoa powder. Stir until the mixture is evenly mixed and free of lumps.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the almond butter, honey, and water to the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until a consistent dough forms that can be easily shaped by hand.
- Form Balls: Using your hands, roll the dough into 1-inch diameter balls, ensuring they are compact and hold their shape well.
- Coat with Chocolate Chips: Roll each protein ball in the mini dark chocolate chips, pressing gently so the chips stick to the surface for an added chocolatey texture and sweetness.
- Chill for Firmness: Place the coated protein bites in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow them to firm up and maintain their shape when eaten.
Notes
- You can substitute almond flour with almond meal if that’s what you have on hand.
- For a vegan version, replace honey with maple syrup and use a plant-based protein powder.
- Store the bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
- Freeze leftovers for up to a month and thaw before eating.
- Feel free to use cashew or sunflower butter instead of almond butter based on availability or preference.
