    an indulgent but healthy bite to satisfy your sweet tooth. filled with whole foods and clean ingredients. with that in mind, this is a recipe that you can enjoy without any guilt.

    each chocolate fudge ball has only 50 calories and 3 grams of protein.

    these bites will keep you on track to reach your fitness and health goals, while also being a sweet treat you can enjoy at the end of a long day. i typically enjoy these as a snack at night.

    however, they're also a great option to give you energy during the day. pre-workout snack? perfect since they're packed with protein, healthy carbs and healthy fats.

    struggling with the afternoon slump during the work day? no problem, these will perk you up!

    ingredients in this recipe

    • avocado
    • banana
    • unsweetened cocoa powder
    • nuzest chocolate protein powder
    • vanilla extract
    • maple syrup (optional)

    health benefits of avocado and chocolate

    • avocado is a great source of vitamin c, e, k and b6. in addition, it's an incredibly healthy fat that you can have in this treat but also to add to salads, wraps and toast!
    • chocolate is a strong source of HAPPINESS as well as a powerful source of antioxidants.

    frequently asked questions

    what does a truffle mean in chocolate?

    a typical chocolate truffle is round and dusted in cocoa powder, just like these are. this recipe uses avocado and banana to create the creaminess that a normal truffle has from making a chocolate ganache.

    are chocolate fudge balls healthy?

    this recipe is extremely healthy but also indulgent. by including only wholesome and clean ingredients, these sweet treats are something that you could eat every day and never feel guilty about! each chocolate fudge ball has 50 calories and 3 grams of protein.

    what if the chocolate fudge balls batter is too soft to scoop and form?

    no problem at all! just pop them in the freezer for 45 minutes to an hour and you will be able to scoop them much easier.

    how do i store the chocolate fudge balls?

    if i know that i'm going to eat these within the next couple days, i will just leave them in the fridge. if i want to store them for a longer amount of time, i will store them in a freezer safe container. when i want to eat them, i'll remove them from the freezer and let sit for about 30 minutes and then enjoy!

    what if i don't have protein powder?

    unfortunately, the protein powder is a key component in this recipe. if you don't have protein powder on hand, check out one of my favorites through this link and order some!
