Make these simple, no-bake protein balls in under 10 minutes. They are packed with protein and oats, perfect for quick energy, post-workout fuel, or easy meal prep snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine the rolled oats, protein powder, peanut butter, honey, chia seeds, and vanilla extract in a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until a uniform, sticky dough forms. If the mixture seems too dry, add a teaspoon of water or milk at a time until it holds together.
  3. Stir in the mini chocolate chips, if using.
  4. Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should get about 12 to 15 balls.
  5. Place the protein balls on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to help them firm up before serving.

Notes

  • Store these protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For a different flavor, substitute almond butter or sunflower seed butter for peanut butter.
  • These are great for pre workout snack ideas or as a healthy, guilt free dessert bites.
