Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or chocolate flavor)
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar-free sweetener (monk fruit, stevia, or erythritol)
  • 2 tablespoons nut butter (almond, peanut, or cashew)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (adjust as needed)
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (sugar-free or dark chocolate)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine protein powder, almond flour, and sugar-free sweetener. Stir until evenly mixed.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Add nut butter, vanilla extract, and a splash of almond milk. Stir well until a dough forms, adding more milk if needed for consistency.
  3. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently mix in the chocolate chips. Adjust sweetness or salt to taste.
  4. Enjoy!: Eat immediately or refrigerate for a firmer texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Use a high-quality protein powder: This affects both flavor and texture.
  • Adjust liquid gradually: Adding too much at once can make the dough too runny.
  • Chill before serving: This enhances texture and flavor.
