Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese (preferably full-fat or low-fat)

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tablespoons chocolate protein powder (or your preferred protein powder)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (for sweetness)

1/4 cup almond butter or peanut butter

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup rolled oats (optional for added texture)

2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips (optional for extra chocolatey goodness)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, unsweetened cocoa powder, and protein powder. Stir well until everything is fully mixed and smooth.
  2. Add in the honey (or maple syrup), almond butter (or peanut butter), and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
  3. If using, fold in the rolled oats and mini chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
  4. Once the mixture is fully combined, scoop out small amounts of the dough and roll them into bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
  5. Place the protein bites on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Once chilled, they are ready to enjoy!
  7. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes

If the mixture is too loose, try adding more oats or protein powder to help bind it together. Refrigerating the bites will also help them firm up.

If you prefer a sweeter bite, adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup based on your taste preferences.

You can substitute almond butter with cashew butter, sunflower seed butter, or any nut butter of your choice for variety.

For a lower-sugar version, use a sugar substitute like stevia or monk fruit instead of honey or maple syrup.
