- a pinch salt
Instructions

- Add protein powder, cocoa, sweetener, and salt.¼ cup chocolate plant-based protein powder, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, ½ tablespoon sweetener, a pinch salt
- Portion into 8 pieces, and roll each into a ball. And enjoy!
Notes
This recipe only works with plant-based protein powder (pea protein or pea protein blend). Using whey or collagen would be a sticky mess.
Other nut butters would work in place of the almond butter (although it may not taste like fudge brownies with other nut butters!).
I used a monk fruit erythritol blend as the sweetener. If you choose a liquid sweetener like maple syrup or agave, start with only 2 tablespoons water and add the liquid sweetener with the vanilla and water.
