Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
  • 2 tbsp honey, maple syrup, or sweetener of choice
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop protein powder (optional, chocolate or vanilla)

Add-ins

  • 2 tbsp chopped nuts or seeds
  • Handful of mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Blend wet ingredients: In a blender, combine cottage cheese, honey, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy without lumps.
  2. Add dry ingredients: Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl. Stir in the unsweetened cocoa powder and protein powder (if using) until the batter becomes thick and smooth.
  3. Mix-ins: Gently fold in the chopped nuts or seeds and mini chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the mixture.
  4. Shape bites: Use a spoon or cookie scoop to portion out the mixture into 1-inch balls. Roll them between your palms to form smooth, round bites. Place the bites on a parchment-lined tray for easy handling.
  5. Chill: Refrigerate the bites for at least 1 hour to allow them to firm up. Alternatively, freeze the bites for 30 minutes if you need them ready faster.
  6. Store: Keep the protein bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness and texture.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for a richer texture and flavor, or low-fat for fewer calories.
  • Protein powder is optional but recommended to boost protein content; choose chocolate or vanilla flavor to complement the cocoa.
  • Customize add-ins such as nuts, seeds, or chocolate chips based on preference or dietary needs.
  • For a vegan version, substitute cottage cheese with a plant-based yogurt and use a vegan protein powder.
  • These bites can be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw in the refrigerator before eating.
