No-bake peanut butter protein truffles are a quick and delicious way to pack in some extra protein while satisfying your sweet tooth. This simple recipe combines the rich flavors of peanut butter and honey with a hint of chocolate, making it a perfect post-workout snack or a healthy treat any time of the day.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Measure out 1 scoop of whey protein powder.
- Measure 2 tablespoons of honey. If the honey is too thick, you can slightly warm it for easier mixing.
- Measure 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. Creamy peanut butter works best, but you can use crunchy if you prefer added texture.
- Get your chocolate candies ready. You can use mini chocolate chips or chopped chocolate if you prefer.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the honey and peanut butter. Stir until they are fully combined and form a smooth mixture.
- Gradually add the whey protein powder to the honey and peanut butter mixture. Stir continuously until all the protein powder is fully incorporated. You should end up with a thick and slightly sticky dough-like consistency.
- Gently fold the chocolate candies into the mixture until they are evenly distributed.
- Use a small spoon or a cookie scoop to portion out the mixture. Roll each portion between your palms to form bite-sized truffles. Aim for about 1-inch diameter truffles for a perfect bite-sized treat.
- Place the formed truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Ensure they are evenly spaced and not touching.
- Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and hold their shape.
- Once the truffles are set, they are ready to be enjoyed! Transfer them to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept in the fridge for up to a week.
Tips:
- For a smoother consistency, warm the peanut butter slightly before mixing it with the other ingredients.
- You can roll the truffles in cocoa powder, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.
- For a vegan version, use a plant-based protein powder and a vegan sweetener like agave syrup instead of honey.
- Store the truffles in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze them for a longer shelf life.
- Feel free to add other ingredients like chia seeds, flax seeds, or dried fruit to the mixture for additional nutrition.
These No-bake peanut butter protein truffles offer a delectable and nutritious way to boost your protein intake. Easily customizable and quick to prepare, they are a perfect treat for anyone looking for a healthy and tasty snack. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors in every bite!
