Make these simple, high protein coffee truffles for a quick, satisfying, and low sugar fitness snack. This no bake recipe uses whey protein for a powerful boost.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup vanilla whey protein powder
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup strong brewed espresso, cooled
  • 1/4 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
  • 2 tablespoons zero calorie sweetener (or maple syrup for non-keto)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut, for rolling (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the protein powder, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix well to break up any clumps.
  2. Add the almond butter, cooled espresso, sweetener, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
  3. Mix everything together using a sturdy spoon or your hands until a thick, uniform dough forms. If the mixture is too dry, add espresso, one teaspoon at a time. If it is too wet, add a small amount of extra protein powder.
  4. Roll the dough into small, uniform balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should get about 16 truffles.
  5. If using, roll each truffle in the shredded coconut until coated.
  6. Place the finished truffles on a plate lined with parchment paper.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • Use a high-quality whey isolate for the best texture, as it absorbs liquid well without becoming gritty.
  • For a keto coffee truffles option, ensure you use a keto-approved sweetener like erythritol or monk fruit.
  • Store these protein packed coffee treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
