Description

Quick and nutritious protein balls that serve as a perfect grab-and-go snack, packed with energy to fuel your day.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup protein powder (any flavor)
  • 1/2 cup nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup oats (gluten-free if needed)
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds or flaxseeds
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or dried fruit (optional)
  • Pinch of salt


Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients until well mixed.
  2. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more nut butter or honey.
  3. If it’s too wet, add more oats.
  4. Once combined, use your hands to roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  5. Place the energy bites on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
  6. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes

Experiment with different nut butters and adjust sweetness to taste. For a chewier bite, use rolled oats instead of instant oats.
