Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ½ cup of applesauce, ¼ cup of coconut sugar, and ½ cup of almond butter. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add 1 scoop of protein powder, ¼ cup of cacao powder, and ½ cup of almond flour. Stir until fully incorporated.
  3. Portion the dough into roughly 1-inch balls and roll between palms. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour to firm up.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of chocolate in 30-second intervals until smooth and glossy.
  6. Dip each chilled protein bite into the melted chocolate. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
  7. Sprinkle your favorite sprinkles on each coated bite before the chocolate sets.
  8. Return the coated bites to the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to harden the chocolate.
  9. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1–2 weeks.
