Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup whey protein powder (vanilla or flavor of choice)
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup peanut butter (or almond butter for variation)
- 0.25 cup sugar-free maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, whey protein powder, and shredded coconut. Stir the dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
Add the peanut butter, sugar-free maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir until a thick dough forms. You might need to use your hands to fully incorporate the ingredients.
Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips and chia seeds (if using) into the dough, making sure they are evenly distributed.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a tablespoon measure or a small cookie scoop, portion out the mixture and roll it into balls. Place each ball on the lined baking sheet.
Once all of the mixture has been rolled into balls, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator.
Chill the protein balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
