- 2 scoops (50-60 grams) chocolate protein powder
- 2 Tablespoons chocolate chips
Almond Joy
- 1 ½ cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup natural almond butter
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 scoops (50-60 grams) chocolate protein powder
- 1-2 Tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
Cinnamon Raisin Cookie

Tahini Chocolate Chip

Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: For each flavor, place the oats, nut or seed butter, honey or maple syrup, protein powder, and any additional mix-ins (chocolate chips, shredded coconut, raisins, or cinnamon) into a large bowl. Stir the ingredients thoroughly.
- Knead the Mixture: The mixture will initially feel thick or crumbly; use your hands to knead and combine the dough fully. This helps the ingredients bind together into a cohesive mixture.
- Form Balls: Use a small cookie scoop or your hands to portion out the dough and roll into bite-sized balls.
- Store Properly: Place the formed protein balls in a covered container and refrigerate or freeze to keep fresh throughout the week.
Notes
- For best texture, kneading the mixture by hand is recommended to help bind ingredients.
- These protein balls can be stored in the fridge for up to one week or frozen for longer storage.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup to taste.
- You can substitute nut butters based on preference or dietary restrictions.
