Ingredients
- 1 cup protein powder (chocolate or vanilla flavor works best)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup nut butter (such as almond, peanut, or cashew butter)
- 2 tablespoons sprinkles (for decoration)
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the protein powder, cocoa powder, and nut butter. Use a spoon or spatula to thoroughly mix the ingredients until a uniform dough-like consistency forms.
- Form Bites: Using your hands, roll the mixture into small 1-inch diameter balls. Place the bites on a plate or tray.
- Add Sprinkles: Lightly press the sprinkles onto the surface of each bite to decorate and add a fun cosmic appearance.
- Chill: Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up before enjoying. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Notes
- You can substitute the nut butter with sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.
- Adjust the amount of nut butter if the mixture is too dry or too sticky.
- Use sugar-free or natural sprinkles to keep the bites healthier.
- These bites are great as a pre- or post-workout snack due to their protein content.
