Equipment

Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

1/2 cup Cottage Cheese Well-drained if very watery, room temperature for easier blending.
2 tbsp Cocoa Powder Unsweetened, sifted if lumpy.
1/4 cup Almond Flour Finely ground.
1 scoop Chocolate Protein Powder Any brand, scoop level to preference.
2 tbsp Maple Syrup Pure maple syrup for best flavor.
1/4 cup Mini Chocolate Chips Use dairy-free if needed.
1 tbsp Peanut Butter Optional, smooth, room temperature or slightly warmed to loosen.

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, almond flour, chocolate protein powder, maple syrup, and mini chocolate chips. Use a sturdy spoon or spatula to mix.
Stir the mixture until fully blended, creating a smooth, brownie-like batter. Scrape the sides and press any lumps against the side of the bowl to break them up.
Mix in the peanut butter if desired for an extra nutty flavor. Stir until evenly distributed.
Roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls about 1 inch in diameter. Press firmly so the bites hold together.
Place the bites on a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet with a little space between each.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until firm. For a firmer texture, chill for up to 2 hours.
Enjoy as a protein-packed snack any time of the day!

Notes

Store the bites in an airtight container for up to 5 days. They are best served cold.
