Perfect! High-protein peanut butter balls are an easy, no-bake snack that’s packed with protein and energy. Here’s a simple recipe:
Ingredients (makes about 12–15 balls)
- 1 cup natural peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 1 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate works best)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup rolled oats (optional, for texture)
- 1–2 tablespoons milk (optional, to help bind)
- Optional: mini chocolate chips, chia seeds, or shredded coconut for coating
Instructions
- Mix ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, protein powder, honey, and oats.
- Mix well; add a little milk if the mixture is too dry to roll.
- Form balls:
- Use your hands or a small cookie scoop to form bite-sized balls.
- Optional coatings:
- Roll in mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or cocoa powder for extra flavor.
- Chill:
- Place the balls on a plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Store:
- Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week (or freeze for longer storage).
💡 Tips:
- Swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter for variety.
- You can add a tablespoon of flaxseed or chia seeds for extra fiber and omega-3s.
- If you want them sweeter, drizzle with a little melted dark chocolate after rolling.
If you want, I can also give a 3-ingredient version that’s ultra-quick and still high in protein—perfect for busy days. Do you want that version?
