Gather all your ingredients for a smoother process.
In a mixing bowl, combine the protein powder, coconut flour or oat flour, and ground cinnamon. Mix until well blended.
Add the almond butter (or peanut butter), honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined.
Gradually add 2-4 tablespoons of almond milk (or milk of choice), mixing until you reach a dough-like consistency.
If using, gently fold in the dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
Place the rolled protein balls on a baking sheet or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Once chilled, enjoy your Almond Butter Protein Balls! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
