These quick and healthy no-bake protein balls made with oats, peanut butter, honey and protein powder are the perfect everyday snack. Recharge with homemade protein balls made from natural ingredients and two delicious protein flavors - vanilla and chocolate.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, and honey or maple syrup. Stir until the mixture comes together and becomes compact..
Divide into two equal parts. Add vanilla protein powder to one part and mix until fully combined. Add chocolate protein powder to the other half and mix until well combined.
Flavour variations:
Chocolate Chip: add chocolate chips to the vanilla base and stir until well combined.
Oatmeal Raisin: mix the vanilla base with cinnamon and raisins
Chocolate Peanut Butter: add chocolate chips to the chocolate protein base and stir to combine.
Monster Cookie: combine the chocolate protein base with M&M’s
Use a spatula to mix the ingredients roughly until combined, then knead the mixture with your hands until you get a compact dough that’s easy to shape into balls.
Scoop the mixture with a spoon, then roll it into balls with your hands. You should get about 24–25 balls.
Notes
Tip: Moisten your hands to make shaping the balls easier.
If the mixture feels too dry or you’re having trouble shaping the balls, add 1 more tablespoon of peanut butter or gradually add 1 teaspoon of water at a time until you get a mixture that’s easy to shape. Be careful with the amount of water to avoid making the balls too sticky!
Pro tip: You can boost the base by adding chia seeds, ground flaxseed, or chopped nuts
Store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or in the freezer for up to a month.
