Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine vanilla protein powder, chocolate chips, maple syrup, and your choice of peanut butter or almond butter. Mix thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms, ensuring chocolate chips are evenly distributed.
  2. Dampen your hands lightly to reduce stickiness. Scoop small sections of the dough and roll them into uniform balls about 1 inch in diameter, aiming for approximately 12 balls total.
  3. Place the protein balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced out to avoid sticking together. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  4. Transfer the Cookie Dough Protein Balls to an airtight container for storage and enjoy as a nutritious snack on the go.
