Deliciously nutritious Mint Chocolate Chip Protein Balls that are perfect for a snack or post-workout treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Rolled Oats (Substitute with gluten-free oats if desired)
  • 1 cup Almond Butter (Can be swapped for any nut or seed butter)
  • 1/3 cup Honey (Maple syrup can be used for a vegan option)
  • 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder (Choose any preferred flavor if vanilla isn’t preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon Peppermint Extract (Adjust the amount to taste)
  • 1/2 cup Mini Dark Chocolate Chips (Dark chocolate or carob chips can be used as a variation)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond butter, honey, vanilla protein powder, and peppermint extract. Mix until a cohesive mixture forms.
  2. If the mixture is too dry, gradually add almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.
  3. Gently fold in the mini dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  4. Scoop about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball shape, placing each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Refrigerate the balls for a minimum of 20 minutes to firm up.
  6. Transfer the protein balls to an airtight container for storage; they can be kept in the fridge for up to a week or frozen for up to three months.

Notes

  • Feel free to adjust the peppermint extract to your taste preference.
  • These protein balls are customizable; try adding other mix-ins like nuts or seeds.
