Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add the almond butter, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Pour in your choice of milk. Mix everything together vigorously for about 2-3 minutes until smooth.
  2. Add the vanilla pea protein and pumpkin pie spice, folding these dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until fully incorporated.
  3. If the mixture feels too sticky, gradually add more vanilla pea protein. Mix until you reach a manageable texture.
  4. Fold in mini white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  5. With clean hands, roll portions of the mixture into 1-inch balls, forming about 16-20 uniform bites. Set aside on a parchment-lined plate.
  6. Chill the tray of protein balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, then transfer to an airtight container.
