Here’s the best thing about these Chocolate Protein Balls: How many recipes lead to a food that can be eaten as dessert, breakfast, or a post-workout snack?
Plus, you don’t have to cook or bake a thing to make them. You just throw some ingredients in a blender, shape them into balls, and then put them in the fridge to firm up.
Also, they taste like wholesome Reese’s peanut butter cups. Hurry, get to work.

Ingredients
Directions
- Add dates to a food processor or high-speed blender and process until they are broken down and form a large ball.
- Add remaining ingredients and continue processing until a dough forms, scraping down the sides as needed. The dough should stick together easily but not be overly sticky to the touch.
- Use a tablespoon to scoop dough and roll each portion into 1-inch balls. Coat as desired with cocoa powder, unsweetened coconut flakes, or finely crushed almonds.
- Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator or at room temperature for up to a week.
WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
In addition to being a great source of protein (it’s in the name!), these balls contain the flavanol powers of chocolate and a dose of healthy fats from coconut oil and peanut butter.
