Author: Katie Higgins

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup protein powder (28g)
  • 2/3 cup nut butter of choice or allergy friendly sub
  • 3 oz chocolate chips (I like to melt them with 4 tsp oil for a smoother sauce)

Instructions

  • *Feel free to use your favorite flavored or plain protein powder. I found that I prefer an unsweetened protein powder because the chocolate coating is sweet.
    To make the protein balls: If not yet soft, gently warm the nut butter until easily stir-able. Stir the protein powder and nut butter together to form a dough, either with a fork or food processor. If too wet, add a little more protein powder; if too dry, add a little oil. (Mine didn't need either, but it may vary by brand.) Roll into balls. Dip in the melted chocolate, then place on a tray lined with parchment or wax paper. Refrigerate or freeze, or let the recipe sit on the counter to set the chocolate.
