Protein Buckeyes

Protein Buckeyes

Looking to create Christmas cooking traditions without all the added sugar? Here’s one of our families favorite recipes:

Ingredients

• 1 cup natural peanut butter (no added oils)

• 1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein powder (we prefer Truvani vanilla)

• 1-2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional, to taste)

• 1 cup dark chocolate chips

• 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

1. Mix the Filling:
   Combine peanut butter, protein powder, and maple syrup/honey in a bowl. Mix until smooth and firm enough to roll into balls.

2. Shape:
   Roll into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray. Freeze for 20 minutes.

3. Melt the Chocolate:
   Microwave the dark chocolate chips with coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

4. Dip:
   Using a toothpick, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, leaving the top portion uncovered. Return to the tray.

5. Set:
   Chill in the fridge until the chocolate hardens.
