Easy Protein Balls Recipe
Protein Balls
What you need:
A large bowl
A large spoon
Large storage container with lid
Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients:
makes about 48 protein balls
3 cups rolled oats
2 cups natural, no extra sugar nut butter
I don’t eat peanuts because of high mold content. I do use almond butter. Choose a more liquid, runny type over a solid, dry paste for this recipe.
1/2 cup molasses (Not backstrap-it’s bitter.) Unsulphered is good, or real maple syrup, or closest to your hometown-harvested honey
5 Tablespoons dark chocolate chips
4 to 5 Tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes or crushed pecans or walnuts (optional)
4 scoops (100 to 120 grams) protein powder, Chocolate flavor
1. Pour measured, rolled oats into mixing bowl.
2. Add nut butter and stir well to combine.
3. Add molasses, or syrup or honey, a little at a time, stirring until well incorporated.
4. Add protein powder, chocolate chips, and coconut. Stir well. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more nut butter or honey.
5. With clean hands or a scoop, form pieces of dough into 2 inch rounds. I usually put mine on parchment-paper-covered cookie sheets for cleanliness until my mix is all rolled. Then, I load my storage container.
6. Place rolled snacks in storage container, covered, in refrigerator until ready to eat.
I thought with the holidays, we are all so busy running around. It would help to have something healthy on hand that tastes good that we don’t have to cook.
