Description

These Protein Balls are a quick, no-bake snack perfect for busy days or post-workout fuel. Packed with protein, healthy fats, and natural sweetness, they’re both delicious and satisfying. Customize them with your favorite mix-ins for a personalized treat!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter)
  • 1/3 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
  • 1/4 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or dried fruit (optional)
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed or chia seeds (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, peanut butter, honey, protein powder, and any optional mix-ins like chocolate chips or flaxseed. Stir until the mixture is well combined and forms a sticky dough.
  2. Shape the Balls:
    Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion the mixture. Roll it between your palms to form balls about 1 inch in diameter.
  3. Chill:
    Place the protein balls on a baking sheet or plate and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to firm up.
  4. Store:
    Transfer the chilled protein balls to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.

 



Notes

  • Texture: If the mixture is too dry, add a tablespoon of water or more honey. If it’s too sticky, add a little more protein powder or oats.
  • Variations: Experiment with add-ins like shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or cacao nibs for extra flavor and texture.
  • Vegan Option: Use maple syrup and a plant-based protein powder.
