Chocolate Protein Truffles!

Chocolate Protein Truffles



Chocolate Protein Truffles


(This recipe is customizable depending on what macro you want to change)

0.75lbs dark sugar free chocolate

1 cup Quick Oats

1 shot Espresso

4 splenda packets or equivalent

1 cup chocolate protein powder (BioX Whey Protein Isolate, IsoSensation 93 Chocolate Fudge, or Allmax Isoflex or Strive)

Water



Melt chocolate over a double boiler with water in the bottom and a pyrex dish on top. Once melted, add protein powder, cup of oats, espresso and splenda (I add cinnamon as well). Mix well and allow to cool.



Once cool, use a small scoop/spoon to shape the truffles and place on baking paper and allow to cool for 10min. Take a cup of Vanilla or other protein powder flavor and roll the truffles in them.



Variations: Use cocoa powder instead of chocolate, add nut butter to batter, hemp, flax, chia, greens powder, rice crisps,crushed peanuts/coconut, use orange extract (any extract flavor drop-mint, almond,coconut etc). Roll the truffles in shredded coconut or hazelnuts. Use different protein powder for coating (ex chocolate raspberry). I love using peanut butter flavored protein or cookies and cream, adding oats, sweetener, almond butter, adding coconut or finely crushed nuts/or poppy seeds or adding PSYLLIUM husks to it!

  2. You might also be interested in Agave Nectar as it tastes amazing, is 100% pure and natural, and is safe for diabetics.

    It measures just like sugar (Some people like to put a bit less in, but I just match it too sugar in my recipes and it works just fine!)
