Make these simple, no-bake protein balls for a quick, high-protein snack perfect for meal prep or post-workout fuel. They are chewy, satisfying, and require no oven time.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey, and protein powder in a medium bowl.
  2. If using, mix in the mini chocolate chips and chia seeds or flaxseed meal.
  3. Stir all ingredients together until a thick, uniform dough forms. If the mixture seems too dry, add a teaspoon of water or milk at a time until it holds together.
  4. Scoop the mixture using a small cookie scoop or your hands and roll it into 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 allow them to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Store these grab and go protein bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter for different flavors.
