These protein bombs combine fresh strawberries, creamy protein powder, and rich dark chocolate for a quick, guilt-free energy boost. Perfect as a snack or dessert alternative, they are easy to make and deliciously satisfying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1 cup vanilla whey protein powder
  • 1/2 cup almond butter, creamy
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips (at least 70% cacao)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • Optional: coarse sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Rinse and hull about 1 cup of fresh strawberries. Chop them finely using a food processor or knife, ensuring small bursts of fruit texture without pureeing.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup vanilla whey protein powder, 1/2 cup almond butter, 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, and 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut. Stir until crumbly but starting to stick together, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Fold the chopped strawberries gently into the protein mixture. Adjust moisture by adding a teaspoon of water or almond milk if too dry, or more protein powder if too wet.
  4. Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the mixture and roll into 1-inch balls. You should get about 12-14 balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
  5. Melt 1 cup dark chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl using 20-second bursts, stirring between each until smooth (about 1-2 minutes).
  6. Dip each chilled protein ball into the melted chocolate using a fork or skewer, letting excess drip off. Place coated balls back on parchment paper. Optionally sprinkle with coarse sea salt before chocolate sets.
  7. Let the chocolate harden at room temperature for about 30 minutes or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes for quicker setting. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.

Notes

If mixture is too wet, add more protein powder or shredded coconut; if too dry, add a splash of almond milk or water. Melt chocolate gently to avoid seizing. Chill mixture before rolling to prevent sticking. Store in fridge up to one week or freeze up to three months. Reheat frozen bombs by thawing in fridge overnight, avoid microwaving to keep chocolate shell intact.
