How To Make Chocolate Protein Fudge Balls (Dairy Free!)

peanut butter

🥗Healthier: almond butter

💰Cheaper: sunflower seed butter

Almond butter is lower in saturated fat and offers a different flavor.

honey

🥗Healthier: maple syrup

💰Cheaper: agave nectar

Maple syrup provides a unique flavor and is a vegan option.

chocolate chips

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate chips

💰Cheaper: chocolate chunks

Dark chocolate chips have less sugar and more antioxidants.

protein powder

🥗Healthier: plant-based protein powder

💰Cheaper: whey protein

Plant-based protein is suitable for vegans and has a different amino acid profile.

In a large bowl, mix together the protein powder and cacao powder.

Add in the almond butter and syrup. Mix as much as you can (it won’t hold together yet). Add in some of the almond milk and mix for a couple of minutes. It will look slightly dry but mix until it holds together slightly. Add in the chocolate chip and stir.

Line a tray with parchment paper. Grease your hand in coconut oil. Portion and roll the balls. When you portion, squeeze the balls together and then roll so that they hold together. Place them on the paper.

Place the remaining nut butter into a plastic baggie and cut the tip. Drizzle over the balls. Place in the fridge to set.
