# What You'll Need:

→ Proteins

01 - 1 cup unsweetened creamy peanut butter
02 - 3/4 cup sugar-free protein powder

→ Sweeteners

03 - 1/2 cup sugar-free powdered sugar

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Add all of the ingredients for the peanut butter balls to a food processor. Process until completely smooth and a thick dough forms. Scrape down the sides as needed.
02 - If no food processor is available, combine ingredients in a large or medium bowl. Add almond milk if necessary to achieve the correct consistency.
03 - Refrigerate the peanut butter mixture for 15 minutes to firm up. Extend refrigeration (or freeze briefly) if it remains too soft.
04 - Melt sugar-free chocolate chips and coconut oil (or butter) in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals until smooth, stirring between intervals.
05 - Roll the chilled mixture into balls. Drizzle or dip in chocolate, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired. Serve immediately or chill until chocolate sets.
