Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium-large mixing bowl, combine the cashew butter, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until thoroughly blended and smooth.
  2. Gradually incorporate the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a cohesive dough forms.
  3. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  4. Using a tablespoon, scoop out equal portions of the mixture and roll them into about 11 smooth balls.
  5. Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving.
