Make these simple, no-bake protein balls in minutes for a quick, healthy snack or post-workout fuel. They use pantry staples and are perfect for meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed or chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients into a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Mix the ingredients thoroughly with a sturdy spoon or clean hands until a uniform, sticky dough forms.
  3. If the mixture seems too dry, add one teaspoon of water or milk at a time until it holds together. If too wet, add a tablespoon more oats or protein powder.
  4. Roll the mixture into small, uniform balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  5. Place the finished protein balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
  7. Store the finished protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, use certified gluten-free rolled oats.
  • You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter for variety.
  • These energy bites freeze well for up to three months; place them in a freezer-safe bag or container.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder for a chocolate flavor variation.
