Protein pb balls
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter powder (Note 1)
- 1/2 cup greek yogurt or blended cottage cheese (Note 2)
- 1tsp vanilla extract
- 1tbsp sugar (Note 3)
- 85g dark or semisweet chocolate
- 1tsp coconut oil
- Sea salt
Directions
- In a bowl, mix PB powder, yogurt or cottage cheese, vanilla, and sugar until a thick, crumbly dough forms (Note 4).
- Knead the dough slightly, roll into a 1" log, cut into portions, and shape into balls. Place on a parchment-lined plate and freeze.
- Melt chocolate with coconut oil in 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip frozen balls in chocolate using a fork or skewer, place back on the plate, and sprinkle with sea salt while still wet. Enjoy!
Notes
- I use the PB&Me no sugar added powder, you can also substitute 1/4 cup of PB powder for protein powder.
- You’ll get a tiny bit more protein from using cottage cheese, but make sure you blend it before using or this won’t work.
- You can use alternate sugars & sweeteners. If you’d like to use a liquid sweetener, use 7tbsp yogurt or cottage cheese & 1tbsp sweetener.
- I use a hand mixer with dough hooks attached and mix until the crumbles form, using a fork lengthens the process.
- This recipe was inspired by In the Raw’s peanut butter balls here in NS.
