Chocolate Protein Proto Balls

Ingredients
1 cup Almond meal (or ground almonds in blender/food processor)
8 scoops of chocolate or vanilla Proto Whey (Note that 2 scoops of proto whey = 1 serving)
4 tblsp Raw cocoa powder
1/2 cup Stevia (i used splenda here as i ran out of stevia, but stevia is the best option)
1/2 cup cocoa nibs (optional but adds extra crunch)
approximately 1 cup desiccated coconut (for rolling)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1tblsp natural almond butter
1/2 cup melted cocoa butter OR Coconut Oil






Method
Combine almond meal, Proto Whey, cocoa powder, cocoa nibs and stevia in a large mixing bowl.

In a separate bowl mix vanilla extract, almond butter and cocoa butter.

Add the wet ingredients in the with dry ingredients and mix until combines into a thick dough type mixture.

Note: you may need to add a little water to help mix if needed



Roll into small balls and then roll in the coconut.

Place on a tray with baking paper and place in the fridge or freezer.


I like mine in the freezer ;)


Remember this is a healthy alternative to a sugary dessert or snack that i add in to my cheat day to help satisfy those chocolate cravings!

Everything in moderation

Enjoy!

  1. I have just discovered your site and was wondering where you get your Proto Whey and Raw Cocoa Powder. It is difficult here in Melbourne to find someone who stocks specifically the Cocoa.
