I used some ingredients that may not be familiar to you in this recipe. Typically, I try to use ingredients that you may have on hand and are knowledgeable about. Some of the ‘clean’ recipes have ingredients that I too am learning about.
However, I’m trying to be more conscious of nutrients dense foods that are low in fat and calories. And, I want to share these recipes with you.
Arbonne Brownie Batter Protein Balls
- Protein Powder – You may be familiar with Arbonne products. I used Arbonne Chocolate Shake Mix for the protein powder. There are many chocolate protein powders available depending on your dietary needs. I suggest browsing Amazon for vegan, organic, and various other protein powders available.
- Cacao Powder – I used Organic Cacao Powder. Raw Cacao Powder and Cocoa Powder are not the same things. Raw cacao powder is prepared by cold-pressing unroasted cacao beans. However, cocoa powder is made by roasting cacao powder at high temperatures which destroy vital minerals of cacao. I used LIVfit Organic Cacao Powder found here. As well, you can find it at most Walmart stores.
- Almond Butter – You can find Almond Butter in almost every grocery store now. I used smooth versus crunchy for this recipe.
- Pumpkin Puree – This product is also available in grocery stores or here. One tip, different brands may be more ‘watery’ than others. drain as much liquid off as you can before mixing into the other ingredients.
- Almonds – I used raw, whole almonds. You can use whole or sliced. As well, you can use roasted but I recommend getting ‘no salt added’ almonds.
- Coconut – I recommend getting unsweetened coconut flakes, but couldn’t find an example to show you.
- You can also mix a couple of tablespoons of hemp seeds, flax seeds, and/or chia seeds into the recipe to boost the nutrients even more.
HOW TO MAKE PROTEIN BALLS
You can make these Arbonne Brownie Batter Protein Balls in minutes. Literally, dump all the ingredients except the coconut into a mixing bowl and mix together. I’ve found an electric mixer works best.
You can shape them into any size balls that you want. I made approximate 1-inch balls. At this size, they make about 50 balls.
Double or triple the recipe for a go-to snack for the entire family.

Save To Your Recipe BoxIngredients
- 5-6 scoops chocolate protein powder
- 2 tablespoons cacao powder can omit and use more protein powder
- 2 cups almond butter
- 1 can pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds measured before they're chopped
- 1/2 cup coconut flakes organic, unsweetened
- 1 tablespoon hemp seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds optional
Instructions
- Drain excess liquid off pumpkin if necessary.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine protein powder, cacao powder, almond butter, pumpkin, and chopped almonds. (also add help, chia, and flax seeds if desired)
- Mix to combine. Refrigerate for 30 minutes will make them less sticky to roll.
- Roll into 1-inch balls, then roll in coconut. I've found it easier to use an ice-cream scoop to batter so that each ball is the same size.

Jessica says
Are these suppose to be kept in fridge after?
Paula says
I did, but I refrigerate everything. They’ll be okay on the countertop a day.
Lisa says
Just wondering if I could either substitute or omit the pumpkin puree – not readily available where I am.
Paula says
A mashed banana should work instead of the pumpkin puree, but I haven’t tried it
Linda Sakuma says
Dont know how this came to me, but I was just advised to boost my protein intake — I was afraid I’d have to eat eggs til they came out my ears! Your email is heaven sent…
I’m already drooling over the goodies pictured, and thank you for putting some joy into my diet, look forward to seeing more great recipes.
Paula says
oh, I’m so happy you let me know. These are seriously good. And, I don’t get enough protein either.
