You seriously need to give these chocolate peanut butter protein balls a try. Once you bite into the chocolate, there is a hidden peanut butter layer, which gives you the best of both worlds.
Similar to the chocolate peanut butter protein bars, I only use six ingredients to make these and it is very easy because there is no baking involved.
These are fantastic for an instant post-workout snack or you can simply eat them as a snack which gives you extra protein.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Balls
Ingredients
- 90 g smooth peanut butter
- 60 g vanilla casein protein powder

Melt Chocolate
- In a saucepan, boil water and place a bowl on top to melt the chocolate. This will slowly melt the chocolate and ensure it does not burn.

Combine
- Place the protein balls into the bowl of melted chocolate and place them on a baking sheet.
