Tips for making no-bake keto protein balls:
- If the keto protein ball mix seems to not stick together, add an extra 1 to 3 teaspoons of water.
- I’m a peanut butter AND a chocolate fan so adding in those keto-sweetened chocolate chips is a must (well, at least for me it is!). ChocZero no-sugar-added chocolate chips are my go-to 😋, but any keto or sugar-free chocolate chips will work for this recipe.
- ChocZero does have amazing keto syrups but same as with the chocolate chips, any keto or sugar-free syrup will work for this recipe. You also don’t have to use caramel-flavored syrup. Keto maple, vanilla, or even chocolate syrup will work. The purpose of the syrup is to help hold everything together.
- Want even more protein? Add in almond butter or protein powder to really kick it up a notch.
Keto protein balls are filling and delectable!
Even your kiddos will love these low-carb protein balls, so I suggest hiding a few for yourself so they don’t all get gobbled up instantly. They’re perfect for making a big batch at the beginning of the week for a yummy snack to enjoy all week long!
Here’s what my Hip sidekick Emily thought of these keto protein balls:
“What a tasty little treat! These are delicious and perfect for an on-the-go snack. I loved that they’re no-bake as well. Sometimes it’s nice to not have to turn on the oven! They taste like a dessert but are the perfect, healthy keto treat!”

I do not have the choc 0 syrup but I do have other syrups. Which one can I use in exchange? These look yummy!
Hi Lisa! You can use any syrup that fits your lifestyle. The syrup is used for flavor and as a binder. Hope this helps❤
I made today and they were easy and quite tasty. I didn’t have the ChocZero syrup but got Walden Farms Chocolate Dip at Sprouts that is zero carbs/calories. I didn’t have hemp hearts but used hemp seeds instead. They turned out wonderful and even my husband loved them. He wouldn’t eat hemp seed, flax seeds, or chia seeds if I held him down and forced him, and he loved them. BTW, I used almond butter rather than peanut butter.
Sounds like a great combination! I’m glad you found some way your husband will eat the seeds.
How long do you think these will stay good in the fridge? Also, can you put these in the freezer to last longer?
Yes! I believe either will work. You could put them in an air tight container or freezer bag. Hoping that helps!
We had a little bit of difficulty getting the balls to stick together. We added a little more peanut butter and that helped. Would protein powder dry the mix too much? How much would you add?
LOVE THEM! We have some in the fridge and freezer.
This recI’ve is a keeper!
Thank you!
You’re so welcome, Robin! 💕 Thanks for letting us know you’re loving them! We haven’t tried it with the protein, however you could add in a few teaspoons of water so it doesn’t get too dried out or extra sugar-free syrup, just to compensate for the additional dry ingredients. Maybe start with a half scoop to test out at first. Let us know how they turn out if you give it a try! 🥰🙌
Lovely recipe. How long would you advise these keep for? Thanks
Hey Rachel! Keto protein balls like these generally last about 1 to 2 weeks in the fridge if stored in an airtight container. If you’d like them to last longer, you can freeze them for up to 3 months and just thaw a few at a time as needed! 🤗
