Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 scoop (30g) unflavored or vanilla protein powder
  • 1 Tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, optional
  • 3/4 cups natural peanut butter, smooth or crunchy
  • 3 Tbsp honey, not solid

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, add oats, protein powder, chia seeds and cinnamon. Mix until well combined.
  • Add peanut butter and honey. Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until well combined and a soft dough forms.
  • Scoop up 1 tablespoon (30g/1 oz) of mixture and roll into a ball.
  • Place on a tray or in the storage container you'll be using.
  • Repeat with remaining mixture.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Test the mixture to see if it sticks together: Before rolling all your protein balls, test one by rolling it into a ball and if it sticks together, the mixture is ready.
 
  • If the mixture is too dry: Add water or extra honey, one tablespoon at a time until the mixture sticks together when rolled into a ball and they have more moisture.
 
  • Store protein balls in an airtight container, at room temperature or in the fridge, for 1 week.
 
  • Freeze protein balls by placing them in either an airtight container or zip-lock bag and freeze for up to 2 months.
 
  • Thaw frozen protein balls at room temperature for 30 minutes or longer until they've softened. Alternatively, defrost them in the fridge overnight.
