Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract.
Stir until smooth and fully combined.
Gradually add in the almond flour, mixing until everything is well incorporated.
If desired, fold in the mini chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into balls.
Place the protein bites on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
Once the protein bites are formed, drizzle or dip the melted chocolate over the top of each bite.
Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up and allow the chocolate layer to set.
Enjoy your protein-packed bites with the added chocolate layer as a sweet and healthy treat!

Notes

Store these protein bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
You can customize the flavor by adjusting the sweetness with more or less honey/maple syrup.
Mini chocolate chips are optional but add a fun texture.
