These chocolate raspberry protein balls are the perfect pre or post-workout snack. The salty and savory almond butter combines perfectly with the tang of the raspberries and the sweetness of the chocolate. These will feel like you’re eating a dessert, but you’ll really be getting in an extra bit of protein.

Ingredients

• 1 cup 1 (three scoops) chocolate protein powder (I used a whey-based protein)

• 1 cup 1 creamy almond butter (use a one or two ingredient almond butter with no palm oil)

• 1/3 cup 1/3 maple syrup

• 4-6 tbsp 4-6 melted coconut oil, based on need

• 1/3 cup 1/3 freeze dried raspberries

• 1/3 cup 1/3 cacao nibs

Directions

• Mix all of the ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Start with 4 tbsp coconut oil and add as needed. Depending on the type of protein powder you’re using, it will vary. If needed, you can add more than 6 tbsp to get to desired texture.
• Form the mix into ~20 evenly sized balls, store in the refrigerator in a container, and enjoy!
• If you prefer a protein bar, you can also press the mix into a parchment-lined loaf pan and cut it into equal-sized bars.
