Ingredients You Will Need
Cottage cheese
One cup full fat or low fat cottage cheese
Unsweetened cocoa powder
Three tablespoons
Natural peanut butter or almond butter
Three tablespoons smooth
Honey or maple syrup
Three tablespoons or adjust to taste
Vanilla extract
One teaspoon
Oat flour or finely ground oats
Half cup
Chocolate protein powder
Two tablespoons
Salt
One small pinch
Mini chocolate chips optional
Two tablespoons
Water or milk if needed
One to two tablespoons
Step by Step Method
First, start by preparing your cottage cheese. Add one cup of cottage cheese to a blender or food processor. Blend it well until it becomes completely smooth and creamy. This step is very important. You want no lumps at all. Take your time here and scrape the sides if needed. The smoother the cottage cheese, the better the final texture of your protein bites.
Once the cottage cheese is smooth, add the cocoa powder into the blender. Add the peanut butter or almond butter next. Follow with the honey or maple syrup. Add the vanilla extract and a small pinch of salt. Blend everything again until the mixture looks thick, glossy, and chocolatey. At this stage, it should look like brownie batter.
Now stop the blender and add the oat flour and chocolate protein powder. Blend again until everything is fully mixed. The mixture should be thick but still easy to scoop. If it looks too thick or dry, add one tablespoon of water or milk and blend again. Only add a little at a time. You want a soft dough, not a liquid.
If you are using mini chocolate chips, stir them in by hand using a spoon or spatula. This helps keep the chocolate pieces whole and evenly spread throughout the mixture.
Next, line a plate or tray with parchment paper. Use a spoon or cookie scoop to scoop small portions of the mixture. Roll each portion gently between your hands to form small bite sized balls. Place them on the lined tray.
Once all the bites are shaped, place the tray in the refrigerator. Let them chill for at least thirty minutes. This helps them firm up and hold their shape better.
After chilling, your protein bites are ready to eat. You can enjoy them right away or transfer them to an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator for freshness. They can last up to five days when stored properly.

Extra Tips for Better Taste
Use full fat cottage cheese if you want a richer and creamier texture. It makes the bites taste more like dessert.
Chill the mixture for ten minutes before rolling if it feels sticky. This makes shaping easier.
Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the bites before chilling for a sweet and salty flavor.
You can mix in crushed nuts, coconut flakes, or cacao nibs for added texture.
If you like stronger chocolate flavor, add one extra tablespoon of cocoa powder.
For a sweeter version, increase honey slightly and taste before rolling.
