Ingredients
⅔ cup (167 g) almond butter
¾ cup (81 g) unflavored or vanilla whey protein powder
⅓ cup (63 g) powdered sweetener
2 tsp ground cinnamon
⅛ tsp salt
¼ cup (50 g) hemp seeds
2 tbsp (14 g) almond flour
1 oz (28 g) sugar-free white chocolate
½ tsp coconut oil
Instructions
-
Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together almond butter, protein powder, sweetener, cinnamon, and salt until evenly blended.
-
Add texture: Mix in hemp seeds and almond flour. Adjust consistency: add a bit of oil if dry or more almond flour if sticky.
-
Shape: Roll dough into 1‑inch balls and place on a parchment‑lined tray. Chill for 20 minutes until firm.
-
Melt chocolate: Combine white chocolate and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl. Place over simmering water (or microwave in short bursts) and stir until smooth.
-
Finish: Drizzle white chocolate over chilled protein bites. Refrigerate 10 minutes to set before serving.
Notes
Use natural unsweetened almond butter for better texture and flavor. Chill dough if sticky before rolling. Adjust sweetness with sweetener. Hemp seeds add crunch but are optional. Store refrigerated up to 1 week or freeze up to 2 months.
