Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup natural peanut butter (no added sugar)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder (low-carb, keto-friendly)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
  • 2–3 tablespoons sugar-free sweetener (like monk fruit or stevia)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1–2 tablespoons water (if needed, to help with consistency)

Instructions

1. Mix the Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, protein powder, shredded coconut, chia seeds (if using), coconut oil, sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated.

2. Adjust Consistency:
If the mixture is too dry, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until it reaches a dough-like consistency that holds together when pressed.

3. Form the Balls:
Roll the mixture into 12 equal-sized balls (about 1 tablespoon per ball).

4. Chill and Set:
Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

5. Store and Serve:
Store the protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Chocolate Chips: Add a few sugar-free chocolate chips for an extra treat.
  • Nut Butter Variation: Swap peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter for a different flavor.
  • Flavor Boost: Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder for a different twist.
