Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup (82g) vegan vanilla protein powder
  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin purée
  • 1 Tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the vegan vanilla protein powder, almond butter, pumpkin purée, pumpkin pie spice, and dark chocolate chips. Stir until the mixture is fully combined and forms a dough-like consistency. If the batter is too dry, add a bit more pumpkin purée and/or almond butter. If it’s too loose and won’t hold shape, add additional protein powder to thicken.
  2. Portion Mixture: Using a 1 ½ Tablespoon cookie dough scoop or spoon, portion out the mixture evenly.
  3. Roll Into Balls: Roll each portion into a ball shape using your hands, ensuring they are tightly packed and smooth.
  4. Store Properly: Place the pumpkin protein balls in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week, or freeze them for up to three months to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Adjust the consistency of the mixture by adding more pumpkin purée or almond butter if too dry, or more protein powder if too wet.
  • Use a cookie scoop for even-sized protein balls.
  • Store chilled in the refrigerator to keep firm and fresh.
  • These protein balls are vegan and gluten-free, suitable as a healthy snack all year round.
