Instructions

Add all of the ingredients except for the chocolate chips to a food processor and process until all of the ingredients are well-combined. Depending on your food processor, you may need to stop and scrape the sides of the food processor with a rubber spatula multiple times. It will take a while for the dates to fully blend in, so be sure to blend well. Note: if your almond butter is not at room temperature from sitting in the refrigerator, microwave it for 20-30 seconds until it stirs easily.
Add 2 to 5 tablespoons of water, processing between each addition, until the mixture sticks together easily. The mixture should resemble a thick cookie dough.
Add in the chocolate chips and continue processing until the chocolate chips are integrated into the power ball dough.
Form balls out of the dough mixture and place them in an airtight container or a plastic bag for storage. If you have a small cookie scoop, now is a great time to use it in order to make equally sized balls. Enjoy!

Notes

*I use an unflavored, unsweetened goat whey protein powder, but any protein powder that you love will work. Vanilla protein powder would be ideal.

**If you’re using salted nut butter, you may not need to add sea salt to the recipe.

***You will likely need to add a small amount of water to get everything to blend together nicely. I use 4 tablespoons. Once the mixture can be pressed into balls easily, you’ll know you have the right consistency.
