High-Protein Chocolate Chip Protein Balls

Beans in your dessert? Trust me. Most protein balls rely on nut butter, oil, and lots of sweetener — these get their soft, fudgy texture from an unexpected ingredient: cannellini beans. The result is more protein, more fiber, fewer calories, and a snack that actually keeps you satisfied. Makes approximately 22 balls.

• No-bake, ready in one food processor
• Naturally sweetened by the beans and chocolate chips
• Only 69 calories and 6g protein per ball
