These protein balls are great if you’re anything like me and often eat more carb-centered meals or snacks instead of sitting down to a traditional protein-centric meal.

They can be made with pretty much any protein powder, and since that ingredient is such an integral part of this recipe, do be sure to choose a brand and flavor that you already know you like.

I found that I prefer to use one that’s unsweetened, because the chocolate coating is already sweet. (Plus, this also allows you to avoid the artificial sweetener aftertaste present in so many brands.)

To make the recipe, start by gently warming the nut butter (or sunbutter, coconut butter, etc.) until it’s easily stir-able.

Then use either a fork or food processor to stir in the protein powder and form a dough.

If it’s too wet, add more powder; if too dry, more nut butter or a little oil. Mine didn’t need either, but it may vary depending on the brands and specific ingredients you use.

Roll the dough into balls or shapes, dip in melted chocolate, and place on a tray lined with wax paper or parchment paper. Either refrigerate or freeze to set the chocolate.
