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!

ReplyDeleteIt 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!)
