Do you like Thin Mints? Cookie dough? Then you’re going to need these Thin Mint Protein Dough Balls. They’re a healthy protein version you can have all year!
Every year I feel a mix of excitement and dread when I see the first Girl Scouts outside the grocery store. I love Girl Scout cookies. The only reason I was ever a Brownie was for the cookies. That said, I hate seeing them because I cannot say no. Who am I to say no to the girls? They’re just trying to meet their goal! 25 boxes later… *eye roll*
Thankfully, this only happens once a year. The rest of they year I have these balls to keep me happy. (That’s right, I went there.)
If you read my Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ball recipe, the base of these may look familiar. I used the same healthy dough hacks – almond flour, protein powder, and nut butter.
To make these more chocolate-y, I used unsweetened cocoa powder. For the mint, I added a high quality peppermint extract. I specify high-quality because it makes all the difference in the taste. If you’ve ever used cheap extract in a raw recipe, you know what I mean.
To mix these Thin Mint Protein Dough Balls, just dive in with your hands. It’s 100x easier, plus it’s like getting to play with your food.
Protein powders and nut butters will vary in consistency. If you find the batter to be too dry, just add a bit of almond milk. Your balls shouldn’t be too wet, but you need enough moisture to mold them into balls.

Simple eats are the name of the game lately.
Between my injury and warm nights, a DIY cheese and meat board is a common dinner.
Thank you to everyone for all the well-wishes this past week. The ACL thing sucks, but I’m really lucky to have good friends and Vegas’ support. I’m off to get my MRI today, so we should have a plan by Friday when my doctor gets the results.
In the meantime, here’s how I’ve been eating spending my time.
