Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients:

  • 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or chocolate flavor)
  • 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) nut butter (almond, peanut, or cashew)

Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:

  • 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) sugar-free sweetener (monk fruit, stevia, or erythritol)
  • 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch sea salt

Liquid and Additional Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) unsweetened almond milk (adjust as needed)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) chocolate chips (sugar-free or dark chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Gather a spacious mixing vessel and combine the protein powder, almond flour, and sugar-free sweetener, whisking thoroughly to eliminate any potential lumps and ensure uniform distribution.
  2. Introduce the nut butter, vanilla extract, and a measured quantity of almond milk into the dry ingredient mixture, stirring consistently until a cohesive dough emerges with a smooth, pliable consistency.
  3. If the mixture appears too dense, incrementally incorporate additional almond milk, blending carefully to maintain the desired texture.
  4. Delicately fold the chocolate chips into the protein-rich dough, using gentle folding motions to distribute them evenly throughout the mixture.
  5. Taste the dough and make subtle adjustments to sweetness or salt levels, ensuring a balanced flavor profile that suits personal preference.
  6. For immediate consumption, scoop the dough directly from the mixing bowl. Alternatively, transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate for a firmer, more chilled experience.
  7. When storing leftovers, select an airtight container and keep refrigerated to preserve texture and prevent moisture absorption, maintaining optimal quality for future enjoyment.

Notes

  • Swap protein powders carefully, as different brands can drastically change texture and taste of the cookie dough.
  • Use room temperature nut butter for smoother mixing and easier blending with other ingredients.
  • Consider adding a pinch of salt to enhance the overall flavor profile and balance sweetness.
  • Freeze individual portions in small containers for quick, portion-controlled protein-packed snacks anytime.
