Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Cottage Cheese
- 2 tbsp Cocoa Powder
- 1/4 cup Almond Flour
- 1 scoop Chocolate Protein Powder
- 2 tbsp Maple Syrup
- 1/4 cup Mini Chocolate Chips
Optional Add-ins
- 1 tbsp Peanut Butter (optional) For a nutty flavor
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, almond flour, chocolate protein powder, maple syrup, and mini chocolate chips.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir the mixture until fully blended, resulting in a smooth, brownie batter-like consistency perfect for shaping into bites. If desired, fold in the peanut butter for added flavor.
- Form Bites: Using clean hands or a spoon, shape the mixture into small bite-sized balls or squares.
- Chill: Place the formed protein bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute cottage cheese with a plant-based yogurt or tofu and ensure the protein powder is vegan.
- Store the protein bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Add chopped nuts or seeds for extra texture and nutrition.
- Adjust sweetness by altering the amount of maple syrup according to taste.
- These bites make a great post-workout snack or quick breakfast option.
