Gluten-free if needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vanilla protein powder<\/strong>&nbsp;- Whey or plant-based work. Boosts protein.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flax meal<\/strong>&nbsp;- For heart-healthy fats and even more fiber.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chia seeds<\/strong>&nbsp;- The ultimate superfood, packed with fiber and omega-3s.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Honey<\/strong>&nbsp;- A touch of natural sweetness. Maple syrup or date paste are fine swaps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cocoa powder<\/strong>&nbsp;- Adds antioxidants and richness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mini chocolate chips<\/strong>&nbsp;- The crowning touch of chocolatey decadence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shredded coconut<\/strong>&nbsp;- For texture and tropical flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And that's it!

The mixture will seem dry at first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: Work the ingredients together with your hands.<\/strong> Once incorporated, the oils from the almond butter will bring the mixture together. Knead until it forms a thick, moldable dough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: Fold in chocolate chips.<\/strong> Gently knead to disperse the chips evenly throughout the dough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4: Refrigerate for 30 minutes.<\/strong> Chilling firms up the dough for easier shaping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 5: Roll into balls.<\/strong> Scoop up tablespoon-sized portions and roll them between your palms. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 6: Return to fridge for 1 hour.<\/strong> This helps the balls further set up before enjoying or storing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that's truly all there is to it!
