Add 2 tablespoons of chocolate protein powder to the mixture.

Mix in 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Pour in 1/4 cup of honey and mix well.

Add 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips and combine everything together until mixed.

Use your hands to mix the ingredients thoroughly, wearing gloves for cleanliness.

Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Scoop the mixture using a tablespoon to form balls, aiming for 12 to 16 balls, but larger sizes will yield fewer.

Place the formed balls on the parchment paper and put them in the fridge or freezer to solidify for 10 minutes in the freezer or longer in the fridge.
