Protein Lab’s Festive Chocolate Protein Truffles

Rich, chocolatey, and genuinely satisfying.

These Festive Chocolate Protein Truffles are the kind of treat that feels indulgent without sending your goals off track. They’re soft, truffle-smooth, and packed with flavour, using Protein Lab’s Chocolate Whey to bring structure and protein into every bite.

They’re perfect for those sweet moments: a mindful one-or-two-after-dinner treat, a festive platter upgrade, or a thoughtful homemade gift that looks far more impressive than the effort required. No baking. Minimal fuss. Maximum reward. Exactly how festive nutrition should taste.

What You Need:

• 1 heaped scoop Protein Lab’s chocolate whey protein
• 1 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter
• 1 tbsp Greek yoghurt
• 1–2 tsp cocoa powder
• ½ tsp peppermint extract (optional but very festive)
• 1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup

Optional Coatings:

• Cocoa powder
• Desiccated coconut
• Dark chocolate shavings

Method:

1. Add all ingredients to a bowl.
2. Mix until a thick, dough-like consistency forms. If it feels too dry, add 1/2 tsp yoghurt at a time until rollable; if too wet, add a touch more protein or cocoa.
3. Roll into small bite-sized balls using your hands.
4. Roll or dust each truffle in your coating of choice (cocoa, coconut, or chocolate shavings).
5. Chill in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to firm up before serving.
