Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
  • 2 tbsp honey, maple syrup, or sweetener of choice
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop protein powder (optional, chocolate or vanilla)

Add-ins

  • 2 tbsp chopped nuts or seeds
  • Handful of mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Blend wet ingredients: In a blender, combine cottage cheese, honey, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Add dry ingredients: Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl. Stir in the unsweetened cocoa powder and protein powder (if using) until the mixture becomes thick and smooth.
  3. Mix-ins: Gently fold in chopped nuts or seeds and mini chocolate chips to add texture and flavor.
  4. Shape bites: Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out the mixture and roll it into approximately 1-inch balls. Place the formed bites on a tray lined with parchment paper.
  5. Chill: Refrigerate the bites for at least 1 hour to allow them to firm up. Alternatively, you can freeze them for 30 minutes for quicker setting.
  6. Store: Keep the bites stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • The protein powder is optional but adds an extra protein boost; chocolate or vanilla flavors work best.
  • Feel free to substitute chopped nuts or seeds based on your preference or dietary needs.
  • If you prefer sweeter bites, increase the honey or sweetener slightly.
  • For a vegan version, substitute cottage cheese with a vegan alternative or silken tofu and use maple syrup as the sweetener.
  • These bites are best consumed chilled to maintain their texture.
