Protein Truffles

I like these when I'm craving a little bite of something sweet!  You can experiment with different flavors of protein powders and nut butters.  I like to add some cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, too.

Filling Ingredients
2 scoops whey protein (I used Bone Broth Protein in Vanilla)
1/2 cup unsweetened almond or coconut milk
1/4 cup almond flour
2 Tbsp coconut flour
1-2 Tbsp almond or peanut butter

Coating Ingredients
Dark chocolate (70% cacao or darker is best!)  I don't really know a specific amount here... just enough to roll your balls in!  Stop it with your dirty mind.

 

Directions
Blend all filling ingredients until smooth.  Divide dough and roll into 8 equally sized balls.

Heat dark chocolate and stir until melted.  Feel free to add a bit of stevia if you like your chocolate sweeter.  Dip each ball into the melted chocolate one at a time, and using a spoon, make sure each is completely covered in the chocolate.  Lay each ball on a sheet of parchment paper on a plate, and refrigerate until firm.
