By now I am sure most of you have heard of Peanut Butter Buckeyes. They are an amazingly delicious treat that tastes much like a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. I have made them a few different times and I promise you they are quite addictive!

One day as I was whipping up this treat, I glanced across the counter and noticed my jar of Protein Smoothie Booster and a light bulb went off. The protein mix has a similar texture to powdered sugar, one of the main ingredients in buckeyes, so I figured the mixture of peanut butter and the Protein Smoothie Booster might make for a similar consistency to the buckeyes. That is how these Protein Peanut Butter Truffles were born!

I set to work mixing up peanut butter and the protein mix and began taste testing. I realized quickly this was going to work out very well! If you aren’t a big sweets person, you can leave this as an easy four ingredient treat. If you prefer to sweeten things up a bit, a little bit of honey will do the job.

Furthermore, if you don’t feel like making a batch of the Protein Smoothie Booster, you can simply substitute four scoops of store-bought whey protein booster with one teaspoon of chia seeds.

These little Protein Peanut Butter Truffles are simple to make and store well refrigerated for a couple of weeks. To make the truffles, simply add the peanut butter, protein powder and honey to a food processor. If you don’t have a food processor you could use a hand beater instead.

Once the mixture is well combined, roll it into 15 small balls. Arrange the balls on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Once the truffles have chilled, coat them in a mixture of dark chocolate and coconut oil and return to the refrigerated. Once the chocolate is set in a matter of 15 minutes, they are ready to enjoy!
