Blue Dinosaur Choc Almond Protein Ball is a compact, wholefood-style snack designed to deliver rich chocolate flavour with a satisfying, soft texture. Built around almonds and dates, this protein ball combines natural sweetness with cocoa notes to create a balanced bite that feels familiar and easy to enjoy.
Almonds form the foundation of the flavour and texture, bringing a roasted nuttiness that pairs naturally with chocolate. Dates provide gentle sweetness and help bind the ingredients, while tapioca fibre supports structure without relying on artificial additives. Chocolate chunks and cacao powder contribute depth and contrast, creating a rounded chocolate profile rather than an overly sweet finish.
Blue Dinosaur is known for its straightforward approach to snack foods, favouring recognisable ingredients and simple recipes. This Choc Almond Protein Ball fits neatly into that philosophy, offering a convenient option for busy days, between-meal snacking, or when a small, chocolate-forward treat is wanted.

Additional Information
Protein balls have become a popular snack format due to their portability and ability to combine multiple wholefood ingredients into a single bite. In this recipe, almonds provide both texture and flavour, while dates contribute moisture and natural sweetness without refined sugars taking centre stage.
Chocolate chunks made from cocoa mass and organic sap sugar introduce texture contrast, while cacao powder reinforces the chocolate profile with a slightly bitter edge that balances the sweetness. Faba bean protein is used as a plant-based protein source, supporting the structure of the ball and contributing to its satisfying mouthfeel. Coconut and vanilla bean extract round out the flavour, adding subtle warmth and aroma.
In everyday use, this Choc Almond Protein Ball works well as a mid-morning or afternoon snack, a lunchbox addition, or a small treat alongside tea or coffee. Its restrained sweetness makes it suitable for regular enjoyment, while the soft texture makes it easy to eat on the go.
From a broader food science perspective, legumes such as faba beans have been studied for their functional role as plant-based protein ingredients in snack foods. Peer-reviewed research available through PubMed Central explores their composition and use in food formulations, offering useful context beyond product trends.
