Homemade Protein Balls
These protein balls are simple to make and will be an irresistable snack or breakfast. The protein balls can be easily customizable and no baking involved.
Equipment
- large mixing bowl
- spoon
- measuring cups
Ingredients
- 1½ cups rolled oats
- 1 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup natural peanut butter almond butter is an option as well
- ½ cup raw honey
- ½ cup raisins
Extra additions of choice
- ¼ cup chocolate chips
- ¼ cup coconut flakes
- 2 TBS Brewers Yeast
- ¼ cup chopped dates
- ¼ cup dried cranberries
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl add all the ingredients. Stir until well combined.
- Make sure that the mixture is creamy, yet has the texture of the oats and any additions.
- Note: If you decide to add several additions, you will want to reduce the amount of each. The balls will not stick together well if there are too many extra additions.
- Using your hands, roll into one inch balls.
- Place in an airtight storage container. Store in the refrigerator for one-two weeks. Unless devoured before then!
Notes
I like to use Level Grassfed Whey Protein Powder. There is a good amount of protein content per serving.
Natural peanut butter or almond butter have only been tested in this recipe. It would probably work with unnatural nut butters as well.
If you decide to add in more than one of the additions, please note that the balls may not hold together as well.
If you want a creamier protein ball, add about 1/4 cup more of peanut butter.
Rolled oats are used in this recipe, however quick oats may also work.
