Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-natural peanut butter
  • 2 scoops vanilla protein powder I used leanfit - make sure you like the taste of your protein power for this recipe.
  • 1 ½ cups quick oats see notes
  • ¼ cup honey or sub maple syrup but it may not stick together quite as well
  • 3-4 tbsp milk I used almond

Instructions
 

Mix the Base

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, protein powder, oats, and honey.

Adjust the Texture

  • Add almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition until the mixture holds together when pressed.

Form the Balls

  • Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a bite-sized ball. Repeat until all mixture is used. Make 24 balls for little minis or 12 for regular sized.

Chill

  • Place protein balls in the fridge for 20–30 minutes to firm up, or enjoy right away!

Notes

Notes

  • Oats: Quick oats are best for mini protein balls because they bind better and give a softer texture. If you’d like to use rolled oats, I recommend making around 12 larger balls instead of minis.
  • Protein Powder: Choose a flavor you love, since it’s noticeable in the recipe. Vanilla, chocolate, or peanut butter protein powders all work well.
  • Sweetener: Maple syrup keeps this vegan; honey makes it stickier and easier to roll.
  • Make-Ahead: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
