Ingredients
- 1 cup all-natural peanut butter unsweetened
- 1/3 cup low carb protein powder
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- 4 tsp almond milk or more as needed
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, protein powder, almond flour, chia seeds, sugar-free maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
- Use a wooden spoon or your hands to mix everything together. Add almond milk one teaspoon at a time until the dough reaches a cookie dough consistency. The amount may vary depending on how thick your peanut butter is.
- Once the dough comes together, fold in the chocolate chips evenly.
- Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough per ball and roll between your hands. You should get around 16 small protein balls.
- Place the balls on a tray or plate lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or until firm. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days or freeze for longer.

Notes
- Sweetness Level - Taste the dough before rolling. If you want it sweeter, stir in a little powdered erythritol or your favorite keto-friendly sweetener.
- Nut-Free Version - Swap peanut butter with sunflower seed butter and use coconut flour in place of almond flour to make a nut-free version.
