Protein Balls Healthy Recipes

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • - 1 cup rolled oats
  • - 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • - 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • - 1/2 cup protein powder whey or plant-based
  • - 1/4 cup chocolate chips optional
  • - 1/4 cup chopped nuts or seeds optional
  • - 1 tsp vanilla extract optional

Instructions
 

  • Instructions:
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and protein powder. Mix well to guarantee an even distribution of the dry ingredients.
  • Add the peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) to the dry mixture. If you're using vanilla extract, add it at this stage. Use a spatula or your hands to mix everything together until it forms a sticky, crumbly texture.
  • If desired, fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts or seeds for added flavor and nutrition. Continue to mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Once the mixture is well combined, use your hands to roll it into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place the rolled balls on a lined baking sheet or plate.
  • Refrigerate the protein balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set. Once they're firm, transfer them to a plastic container for storage.
  • Extra Tips:
  • When making protein balls, feel free to experiment with different nut butters or protein powders to find your favorite combinations.
  • If the mixture feels too dry, you can add a little more honey or a splash of milk to help bind the ingredients. Conversely, if it's too wet, sprinkle in some extra oats or protein powder to achieve the desired consistency.
  • Enjoy your homemade protein balls as a nutritious snack anytime!
