You all know how much I love my chocolate and peanut butter, so, I figured why not do some chocolate and almond butter? They are two things you really cannot go wrong with: chocolate and nut butter in the form of these 4-Ingredient Chocolate Protein Balls.

Check out the recipe below...
Ingredients
1 scoop (34g) Macro1 ONE Protein, chocolate brownie
2 tbsp (20g) black cocoa powder*
1/4 cup (64g) almond butter (I used American Dream)
2 tbsp almond milk (might need slightly more or less if you are using a different protein, but don't recommend swapping out for other protein)
1 tbsp regular cocoa powder (to roll the truffles in)
Notes
*Black cocoa powder is the cocoa powder that is used to give Oreos the black color and has a slightly different distinct flavor. Regular cocoa powder can be used as well.
**Any almond butter will work for this recipe. You could even sub peanut butter.
Must use ONE Protein. Whey protein won't give the same, fudgy truffle consistency.
Instructions
- Add protein powder, cocoa powder, almond butter, and almond milk to a bowl. Mix together well until a thick, basically cookie dough texture is formed.
- Placed dough in freezer for about 10 minutes to chill. This will make it easier to roll into balls.
- Once chilled, roll into 4 balls. Next, place some extra cocoa powder on a plate or in a bowl and roll the truffles in cocoa powder to give a chocolate coating.
