For the Protein Bites

  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips Provides extra sweetness and texture
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter Optional for extra creaminess

Instructions

Preparation

  • Blend the cottage cheese, maple syrup, and optional peanut butter in a food processor until smooth.
  • Add the cocoa powder, almond flour, and chocolate protein powder. Mix until well combined.
  • Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.

Notes

Chef’s secret: Ensure the cottage cheese is smooth for the best consistency. Optional extras include nuts or dried fruit. Adjust sweetness as desired. For a vegan alternative, use silken tofu.
