🧂 Ingredients

1 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.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
5 Store in a closed container in the fridge or freezer.
