Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Optional Ingredient

  • 1 tbsp peanut butter (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, almond flour, chocolate protein powder, maple syrup, and mini chocolate chips. Stir well until the mixture is uniform and thick.
  2. Add Peanut Butter: If using peanut butter, add it now and mix thoroughly to incorporate it evenly throughout the mixture, enhancing creaminess and flavor.
  3. Form Bites: Using clean hands, roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter, ensuring they hold together firmly.
  4. Place Bites: Arrange the formed bites on a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet to prevent sticking and make handling easier.
  5. Chill: Refrigerate the protein bites for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set and firm up for easier eating.
  6. Store and Serve: Keep the bites stored in the refrigerator or freezer for longer freshness. Enjoy them as a convenient snack whenever needed.

Notes

  • For a nut-free version, substitute almond flour with oat flour and omit peanut butter.
  • Mini chocolate chips add sweetness and texture but can be replaced with chopped nuts or seeds.
  • The peanut butter is optional but enhances flavor and protein content.
  • These bites can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
  • If the mixture is too wet to roll, add a little more almond flour to achieve the desired consistency.
