Protein balls are a great way to get your daily dose of protein, but they also have other benefits. They are a good snack to have between meals because they help keep you feeling full. Protein balls can also help you lose weight or maintain your current weight because they are a low-calorie snack. Lastly, protein balls make a great post-workout snack because they help rebuild and repair muscle tissue. So, if you're looking for a healthy snack that will help you stay energized and fit, give protein balls a try!
The recipe below contains an easy, 10-minute no-bake protein balls recipe that you can take with you on the go or just enjoy at home! There are a variety of flavors you can use for protein balls, so for this one, we’ll stick with a classic—chocolate peanut butter. [source]
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup natural peanut butter (no added sugar)
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
2 scoops, about 50-60 grams chocolate protein powder
2 Tablespoons chocolate chips
Directions:
1. Place oats, peanut butter, honey, protein powder, and chocolate chips in a large bowl and stir to combine.
2. Getting the mixture to combine takes a little arm muscle and it may seem too thick at first, but it will come together as you keep mixing. I used my hands to knead the dough near the end and that seems to help.
3. Once combined, use a small cookie scoop to scoop and form the dough into balls.
Store in a covered container in the fridge or freezer.
That’s it!!! And like I said, you can do this with a variety of different flavors such as Almond Joy, Cinnamon Raisin, and many more.
