Hemp Protein Truffles

When I was handed my first protein truffle a few weeks ago, I was hesitant. We were in the heyday of Christmas sweets and another truffle, especially one that boasted protein powder, wasn’t that appealing. But, I took one for the team and am I ever glad I did.

You probably wouldn’t want to sit down to a whole plate of these, but they are tasty and deliver approximately 2 grams of complete protein (from the hemp protein powder) and 3 grams of dietary fiber per truffle. This is a great way to get more protein and fiber for people who aren’t into smoothies and need a little extra boost. These truffles would be a fabulous treat/snack to take along when you’re on the go and make a perfect post-workout recovery snack.

This recipe uses our Hemp Protein Powder, but you can use any plain protein powder (such as our whey or soy protein powders) you like in this recipe with good results. I recommend staying away from flavored powders, as they may be too sweet to use in this recipe.
