Start with 1/2 cup of cottage cheese in a mixing bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons of baking cocoa to the cottage cheese.

Pour in 1/4 cup of almond flour.

Add 1 scoop of chocolate keto protein powder.

Mix the ingredients together until well combined.

If desired, add 1 tablespoon of sugar-free peanut butter and mix again.

Add 1/4 cup of chocolate chips and mix until evenly distributed.

Place the mixture in the freezer for a few minutes to firm it up for easier handling.

Use an ice cream scoop to portion out the mixture into bite-sized balls.

If desired, blend the cottage cheese for a smoother texture before forming the bites.

Return the formed bites to the freezer to solidify further.

For the chocolate coating, melt a few tablespoons of chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring in between to prevent burning.

Once melted, dip each protein bite into the chocolate coating or drizzle it over the bites.

Place the coated bites back in the freezer until the chocolate sets.
