A protein powder recipe that combines whey protein and peanut butter which is dipped in chocolate. A 3 ingredient easy buckeye recipe.
- 1 16 oz jar peanut butter (I recommend organic)
- 3 - 4 scoops whey protein powder (scoops are 32 - 34 oz each)
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil
-
In a medium bowl, mix peanut butter and protein powder. You want it to be the consistency of cookie dough and not sticky at all. If it's sticky, add a bit more protein powder. Mix until combined and place in freezer for 30 minutes.
-
Remove bowl from freezer and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Roll into balls (mine made 24, but you pick how big you'd like them) and place on parchment covered cookie sheet. Stick a toothpick in the tops of each of the balls and place back in the freezer for another 30 minutes.
-
Add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in microwave in increments of 30 seconds; stir after the first 30 seconds and place back in for a second time. Remove and stir; it should be melted at this point. Be careful not to over heat.
-
Hold the toothpick of each ball and dip each of the frozen balls into the chocolate and cover 3/4 of the balls as show in images. Place back on parchment covered cookie sheet to dry. Once all of the balls are covered, place sheet back in the freezer for 15 minutes to harden.
-
Store in a closed container in the fridge or freezer.
Feel free to use either vanilla or chocolate protein powder. This is a great plant-based protein powder to try, too.
