Ingredients

  • 1 cup chocolate whey protein powder
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup creamy natural almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder for coating

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the chocolate protein powder, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, and sea salt.
  • In a separate small bowl, combine the almond butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and almond milk until smooth.
  • Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a stiff, moldable dough forms.
  • Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll them between your palms to form smooth spheres.
  • Place the remaining cocoa powder in a shallow dish and roll each truffle in the powder until evenly coated.
  • Arrange the truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
