These chocolate protein “truffles” only have one weakness.. you have to keep them in the fridge. Apart from that, I consider them a nearly perfect snack.. they’re high protein, low calorie, low in added sugar, gluten-free, and easy to make dairy-free / vegan.
They actually they have more protein, less calories and less added sugar than my favorite protein bars.. AND they’re way more affordable (protein bars are getting expensive)!
Plus you don’t have to cook or bake them, and they’re only 10 minutes to prep.
They’re gluten-free and you can easily make them dairy-free (like I do) by using a vegan protein powder, see how easy it is to make them in my video below 🙂
Hope you enjoy!
