What you need
Adjust servings
10 servings- ⅔ cup almond butter (or other smooth nut butter)
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil (or melted butter)
- ¼ cup liquid allulose
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup chocolate whey protein powder

Instructions
How to cook it
Prep timer
- Prep and chill the ingredients before assembling so the finished dish stays crisp and cold.
- Combine the almond butter and avocado oil in a large mixing bowl, stirring thoroughly until smooth and well blended.
- Mix in the liquid allulose and vanilla extract, stirring until fully incorporated into the nut butter mixture.
- Add the chocolate protein powder, nut flour, cocoa powder, and salt to the bowl. Stir everything together until a thick, cohesive dough forms that holds together when pressed.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop and roll the dough into 1-inch balls, yielding approximately 20 balls total. Place them on a plate or baking sheet.
- Transfer to the refrigerator and chill until firm, about 30-60 minutes, before serving.
- Taste before serving and adjust the salt, lemon, vinegar, or herbs so the flavors stay bright.
