Ingredients
- 50 grams protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
- 120 grams almond butter
- 60 grams shredded unsweetened coconut
- 60 grams honey or agave syrup
- 30 grams coconut oil
- 30 grams cocoa powder
- 50 grams whole almonds
- 100 grams dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the protein powder, shredded coconut, and cocoa powder. Set aside.
Step 2
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the almond butter, coconut oil, and honey together, stirring occasionally until smooth and well-combined.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl and stir until the mixture is well-combined and holds together when pressed.
Step 5
Using your hands, form small, bite-sized balls from the mixture and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press a whole almond into the top of each ball.
Step 6
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
Step 7
Dip each almond-topped bite halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off, then return them to the parchment paper.
Step 8
Once all the bites are dipped, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
Step 9
Store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage.
