- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp peanut butter (optional)

- Form Bites: Using clean hands, roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls, ensuring they are compact and even in size.
- Arrange on Sheet: Place the formed bites onto a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to prevent sticking.

- Use plant-based yogurt or blended tofu for a dairy-free version.
- Try adding espresso powder or vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
