Ingredients

1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries
1/4 cup almond flour
1 scoop protein or collagen powder

Chocolate Coating

1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

In a food processor or blender, blend cottage cheese, freeze-dried strawberries and protein powder until smooth.
Stir in almond flour until a thick dough forms.
Roll the mixture into 10-12 bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray. Freeze for 30 minutes until firm.

Chocolate Coating

Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.
Remove the bites and after checking they are firm and set, use two forks to hold each strawberry bite and one by one, dip into the melted chocolate, then place back on the parchment lined tray.
Or hold each one with a fork over the melted chocolate and spoon it over letting the excess drip back into the bowl.
Chill until chocolate has set.
Store in fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 3 months.
