Make these simple, no-bake protein balls using pantry staples. They are quick to prepare, high in protein, and perfect for meal prep or a fast energy boost.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Combine the rolled oats, protein powder, and chia seeds in a medium bowl. Mix them well.
  2. Add the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
  3. Mix everything together using a sturdy spoon or your hands 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. Fold in the optional chocolate chips or other mix-ins.
  5. Roll the mixture into small, uniform balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  6. Place the finished protein balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Store these **healthy high protein snacks** in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  • You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter for different flavors.
  • For a lower sugar option, use a low-carb sweetener in place of honey.
