Ingredients

Inside:

¼ cup natural peanut butter raw if desired (64g)
2 tablespoons filtered water 30ml
1 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract 5ml
a few drops alcohol-free butterscotch flavor
¼ cup Warrior Blend Vanilla protein powder 25g

Coating:

2 tablespoons raw coconut oil 28g
2 tablespoons raw cacao powder 11g
1 packet stevia 1g

Instructions

Mix the peanut butter, water, and flavorings.
Add protein powder.
Line a small tray with parchment paper.
Form the peanut butter protein mix into little balls, and place on the parchment-lined tray.
Put them in the freezer for a few minutes, and mix the ingredients for the chocolate coating.
Remove peanut butter balls from the freezer, and insert a toothpick into each.
Holding them by the toothpick, dip each in the chocolate coating and place back on parchment-lined tray.
Place the tray in the freezer for a few minutes, then repeat the previous step, giving each piece a double coating of chocolate.
Remove toothpicks, and smooth over the hole with your finger.
Freeze for a few minutes more to set.
Enjoy! and store in the refrigerator.

Notes

A note about substitutions: If you use whey protein in place of the Warrior Blend protein, you'll need less water and you'll want to freeze them a little longer (~15 minutes) before dipping in the chocolate coating. You can use cocoa powder in place of the cacao powder. You can also substitute other natural sweeteners in place of the stevia.
