Keto Protein Balls
My keto protein balls are a delicious and satisfying low carb, high protein snack that takes 5 minutes to make. They have 10 grams of protein and only 1.6g net carbs each and taste like cookie dough!
Servings: 6
Calories: 160kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup almond butter crunchy, 130g
- 4 tablespoon whey protein powder 28g
- 1 tablespoon liquid allulose
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt if the almond butter is unsalted
As needed
- water to loosen the mixture, I used ½ tablespoon
Instructions
- Stir all ingredients in a mixing bowl with a fork until a firm dough forms that can be shaped easily. (***Adjust as needed with water/oil or more protein powder, see recipe notes)
- Form a large dough ball and cut it into 6 segments.
- Roll each segment into a ball.
- Option to roll each ball in a topping of your choice. I rolled mine in crushed pumokin seeds and cinnamon.
Notes
1.6g net carbs. Makes 6 balls. 1 ball per serve.
*** Almond butter varies in texture and so does protein powder. Tweak the dough to achieve cohesive balls:
-
- Too dry? Add water, almond milk or a little olive oil/melted butter
- Too runny? Work in more protein powder
- Sweetener swap: You can use powdered sweeteners such as allulose, Bocha Sweet or erythritol/monk fruit. Add more liquid as needed to balance the wet/dry ratio
