Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough

  • 1 cup vanilla protein powder (any brand for muscle recovery)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (dark chocolate recommended for richer taste)
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup (can substitute with honey or agave syrup)
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter or almond butter (sun butter as a nut-free alternative)

Optional Mix-ins

  • Dried fruit (for natural sweetness)
  • Chopped nuts (for crunch and healthy fats)
  • Seeds (to boost nutritional value)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add 1 cup of vanilla protein powder, ½ cup of chocolate chips, ½ cup of maple syrup, and ½ cup of peanut butter. Mix thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms.
  2. Shape the Balls: Take small sections of the dough and roll them into balls about 1 inch in diameter. This recipe yields approximately 12 Cookie Dough Protein Balls.
  3. Chill: Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  4. Store: Remove the balls from the refrigerator and transfer them to an airtight container for storage. Keep chilled until ready to eat.

Notes

  • Great for a quick snack or post-workout recovery, adjust mix-ins like dried fruit, nuts, or seeds to your preference for variety.
  • Use sun butter to make this recipe nut-free if needed.
  • Storing the protein balls in the refrigerator helps maintain their shape and texture.
  • These protein balls are no-bake, making preparation quick and easy.
