Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup chocolate protein powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (heaping 1/2 cup preferred)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 teaspoons water (plus additional if needed)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add all the dry and wet ingredients into a medium-sized bowl. Use a wooden spoon, large spoon, or spatula to mix everything thoroughly until well combined. If the mixture feels too dry and crumbly, gradually add an extra teaspoon or two of water until the dough holds together well.
  2. Form Balls: Scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them between your palms to form balls about 1 to 1 ½ inches in diameter for easy snacking and portion control.
  3. Chill: Place the formed balls on a small baking sheet or a large plate lined with wax paper. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the balls to firm up and set properly.
  4. Store and Serve: Transfer the chilled protein balls to an airtight container and keep them refrigerated or freeze for longer storage. Enjoy as a nutritious snack anytime you need a quick energy boost.
