Avon introduced our Espira Line last year and since then Avon and it's reps have come up with some tasty ways to use our plant power protein powders!  This is one given to us by our wonderful company to share with all of you. Now we do offer two flavors of our powder which gives you a whole other set of flavor options! Yum, yum, yum and a little less guilt!

Espira Plant Power Protein Canister - 3
Protein Chocolate Truffles
Makes about 12 1-inch balls.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup natural, unsweetened nut butter
  • 3 tablespoons honey, agave nectar or pure maple syrup ( I use 1 tbls stevia drops)
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2/3 cup Espira Plant Power Protein, Chocolate

Suggested Coatings (optional):

  • Miniature semisweet chocolate chips of cacao nibs
  • Unsweetened, natural cocoa powder
  • Unsweetened flake or shredded coconut, plain or toasted
  • Finely chopped toasted or raw nuts (e.g. almonds, walnuts, pistachios, hazelnuts)
  • Matcha poweder

Preparation

  1. Mix the nut butter, honey, and salt in a medium bowl until blended. Add the Espira Plant Power Protein (chocolate), stirring until completely combined (mixture will be firm).
  2. Mix until the mixture comes together as a dough. If the mixture seems too wet, add a bit more protein powder until the mixture comes together as a dough. If the mixture seems too dry, add some water, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture comes together as a dough.
  3. Scoop about 1 ½ tablespoons of the mixture into your hands and shape into 1-inch balls.
  4. If desired, place one or more of the suggested coatings in small shallow dishes. Roll each ball in the coating, gently pressing to adhere. Place the balls in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
So this works up to almost 7 g carbs per truffle, under 3 g carb when made with stevia.
