It's hard to believe these protein treats are held together without honey, peanut butter, or syrup, but it's true! The natural sweet and sticky texture of dates bind everything together, while cacao powder, almonds, and unsweetened coconut flakes provide the superfood punch that's the hallmark of many a Signature recipe. With the double chocolate goodness of Signature Chocolate whey protein and Double Chocolate Chunk Protein bar--wait, does that make it triple chocolate?--these chocolatey protein balls will disappear fast!
