PŪRe Delicious: No Bake Protein Balls

No Bake Protein Balls*

Ok so it’s the holidays and we all know we are going to eat—probably a lot! So I decided I’d pull together recipes for protein balls I make all the time. They are delicious. They hit the crave and sugar and fat buttons! And presumably in small doses they are still good for you lol! 

These are the easiest no bake protein balls, four different flavours – chocolate peanut butter, tahini chocolate chip, cinnamon raisin, and almond joy. Take 10 minutes to whip up a batch of these protein balls and snack healthy all week long! 

They can be kept in the fridge or frozen. To get them cold put them on a cookie sheet or something similar with parchment paper.  Hand roll each one of them and get them cold before serving.

Prep Time 10 minutes

Total Time 15 minutes 

Servings 24 (each recipe, depends on the size of the balls you roll😊)

P.S. My favourites are Chocolate Peanut Butter, and Cinnamon Raisin!

Ingredients
Chocolate Peanut Butter
1 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats

1 cup natural peanut butter

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

2 scoops, about 50-60 grams chocolate protein powder

2 Tablespoons chocolate chips

Instructions/Directions:
Place oats, peanut butter, honey, protein powder and chocolate chips in a large bowl and stir to combine.

Getting the mixture to combine takes a little arm muscle and it may seem too thick at first, but it will come together as you keep mixing. I used my hands to knead the dough near the end and that seems to help.

Once combined, use a small cookie scoop to scoop and form the dough into balls.

Store in a covered container in the fridge or freezer.

Almond Joy
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats

1 cup natural almond butter

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

2 scoops, about 50-60 grams chocolate protein powder

1-2 Tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions/Directions:
Place oats, almond butter, honey, protein powder and shredded coconut in a large bowl and stir to combine.
