Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Mixing spoon
  • 1 set measuring cups
  • 1 set measuring spoons
  • 1 rimmed baking sheet
  • 1 sheet parchment paper
  • 1 airtight container

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 cup almond butter creamy
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 2 tablespoon mini dark chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 2–4 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk

Instructions
 

  • Line the rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Add the almond flour, protein powder, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, mini dark chocolate chips, and sea salt to the mixing bowl and stir to combine.
  • Add the almond butter, honey, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons almond milk to the dry mixture and stir until a thick dough starts to form.
  • If the mixture is too dry or crumbly, add almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring after each addition, until the dough holds together when pressed.
  • Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it between your palms to form a smooth ball.
  • Place each ball onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
  • Once all the dough is rolled, refrigerate the tray for at least 30 minutes to firm up the protein balls.
  • Transfer the chilled protein balls to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

For best texture, keep the protein balls chilled and let them sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before eating so they soften slightly; if your dough feels too sticky, lightly dampen your hands before rolling or chill the mixture for 10 minutes first, and if it feels too dry, a bit more nut milk or nut butter will bring it together. You can customize the flavor by swapping almond butter for peanut or cashew butter, changing the protein powder flavor, or folding in extras like shredded coconut, finely chopped nuts, or a pinch of cinnamon; just keep the overall ratio of dry to wet ingredients similar so the balls hold their shape well.
