Ingredients & Substitutions

• 2 tbsp coconut oil (melted) – Gives a creamy texture and healthy fats.
• 2 tbsp powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener – Sweetens without adding carbs.

• ¼ cup sugar-free chocolate chips (optional) – For an extra indulgent touch.

2. Add dry ingredients – Stir in the almond flour, protein powder, and sea salt until fully incorporated.
3. Fold in chocolate chips (if using) – Mix gently to distribute evenly.
4. Form the bombs – Scoop out small portions and roll into bite-sized balls.
