Protein powder matters: this recipe calls for chocolate protein powder. You can use either plant-based or whey. Remember, that there is 1/3 cup of protein powder so use one that you like. If these taste “chalky” it’s because you have bad protein powder. Use water: water is used to make sure the dough is malleable enough to roll into balls. You should need around 1-4 teaspoons.
