Ingredients
- 2/3 cup (167 g) almond butter
- 3/4 cup (81 g) unflavored or vanilla whey protein powder
- 1/3 cup (63 g) powdered sweetener
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup (50 g) hemp seeds
- 2 tablespoons (14 g) almond flour
- 1 ounce (28 g) sugar-free white chocolate
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine almond butter, protein powder, powdered sweetener, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
- Add hemp seeds and almond flour. Mix until a cohesive dough forms and the mixture can be rolled into balls.
- If the dough is too dry, add avocado oil one teaspoon at a time. If it’s too wet, add almond flour one tablespoon at a time until the texture is right.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined tray. Refrigerate for 20 minutes until firm.
- In a heatproof bowl over barely simmering water, melt the white chocolate with coconut oil, stirring constantly.
- Once mostly melted, remove from heat and stir until smooth.
- Drizzle white chocolate over chilled protein balls. Return to the refrigerator for 10 minutes to set.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
- Use vanilla protein powder for a sweeter flavor or unflavored to let the cinnamon shine.
- You can substitute sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version.
- These are great for meal prep and can be stored refrigerated for up to 1 week.
- Use a piping bag or fork to drizzle chocolate for a cleaner look.
