Chocolate Protein Balls

Gather all ingredients and measure them out: 1/2 cup peanut butter, a drizzle of honey, 1 scoop protein powder, 1/3 cup chocolate chips, and 1/2 tsp coconut oil.

Place the peanut butter, honey, protein powder, chocolate chips, and coconut oil into a medium‑sized mixing bowl.

Using a rubber spatula, stir the mixture until it forms a uniform, sticky dough; this should take about 1–2 minutes.

If the dough feels too dry, add a few more drops of honey; if it feels too wet, add a small pinch of extra protein powder, adjusting until the consistency is pliable but not overly sticky.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the mixture rest at room temperature for 2 minutes to allow the coconut oil to fully incorporate.

With clean hands, scoop out roughly 1‑inch portions of the dough and roll each into a smooth ball.

Place the rolled balls onto a parchment‑lined tray, spacing them a little apart.

Optional: drizzle a tiny amount of melted chocolate over the tops or sprinkle extra chocolate chips for added texture.

Transfer the tray to the refrigerator and chill the balls for at least 15 minutes, or until they firm up.

Remove the balls from the fridge and store them in an airtight container; they keep well for up to 5 days refrigerated.

Enjoy one or two balls as a post‑workout snack or a sweet pick‑me‑up any time of day.
