  3. Mix with a spatula or fork until a smooth dough forms. If necessary, use your hands to knead.

  4. If the dough is too dry, add a splash of milk or a little more almond butter. If it’s too wet, mix in extra almond flour or a bit more protein powder instead. Casein and vegan protein powder absorb more moisture than whey.
  5. Fold through chocolate chunks or any mix-ins you'd like, if desired.

  6. Scoop out portions of dough and roll them into bite-sized balls with your hands. To prevent sticking, lightly dampen your palms or dust them with almond flour.

  8. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

Troubleshooting
Protein powders behave differently. Whey mixes smoothly but can turn sticky, while plant-based or casein powders soak up more liquid and might lead to a drier dough.
  • If it’s too dry – Add a spoonful of almond butter or a small splash of milk to bring the mixture together.
  • If it’s too sticky – Mix in some extra almond flour or a bit more protein powder until the texture firms up.
