Earl Grey White Choc Protein Balls ☁️🫖
Think afternoon tea got a glow-up. These soft, zesty, floral lil' bites are packed with creamy almond butter, plant protein, and that iconic Earl Grey aroma (yep, she’s a little posh).
Plus, they're coated in dreamy white choc for that chef’s kiss finish.

🧙 How to Make the Magic

1. Steep 1 (2 if you want a stronger flavour) tea bag per 100 mL boiling water for 5–7 mins. Let it cool you want strong, floral flavour without the steam bath.

2. In a big bowl, mix almond meal, protein, coconut flour, ground tea leaves, and a cheeky pinch of salt.

3. Stir in your almond butter, sweetener, vanilla, and 2 tbsp of that brewed tea. Mix until a soft dough forms.

💡 Too dry? Add a tiny splash more tea. Too sticky? Sprinkle a bit more coconut flour. Find that Goldilocks zone.

4. Scoop tablespoon-sized chunks and roll into balls. Place on a lined tray and pop in the fridge for 15–20 mins to chill their little selves out.

5. Melt choc and coconut oil (microwave or double boiler works). Dip, drizzle, or drown each ball in chocolatey goodness.

6. Fridge for 30 mins to set. You want that perfect soft snap when you bite in. You know the one.

🧊 Storage

Keep ‘em in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months (if they last that long).

Sweet, fragrant, satisfying and a little bit fancy. These are not your grandma’s tea party snacks ☕🍫💅

FAQ - EARL GREY PROTEIN BALLS (VEGAN FRIENDLY)

  • You sure can, BB. Vanilla and white chocolate are the go-to’s here for that creamy base, but chai, caramel, or even blueberry could make for a fun twist. Just don’t @ us if it gets weird 😅

  • Yes, with a few tweaks! Swap almond meal for oat flour or sunflower seed meal, and use a seed butter like tahini or sunflower seed butter. The taste will change, but they’ll still hit the spot.

  • Not at all! If you’re not into the floral, citrusy vibes, try English Breakfast, Chai, or even a caffeine-free herbal tea. Just know you’ll be changing the flavour game a bit.

  • It’s all about balance!
    ✨ Too dry? Add a tiny splash of brewed tea or a drizzle more sweetener.
    ✨ Too sticky? Add a spoonful of coconut flour or almond meal.
    You’re aiming for rollable, not crumbly or gloopy.
