Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup Oats
1/2 cup Natural peanut butter or any nut or seed butter of your choice
1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
1/2 cup Shredded Coconut unsweetened
1/2 cup Chocolate chips 1 tsp Vanilla extract
2 scoops of your preferred protein powder
Optional additions:
Flaxseed or chia seeds
Dried fruit

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and protein powder.
Mix well until everything is combined and evenly distributed.
Use water to slightly wet your hands. Then use your hands to form small balls, about 1-inch in diameter. If the mixture is too dry, you can add a bit more peanut butter or honey to help the balls stick together.
Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined baking tray or plate.
Refrigerate the protein balls at least 10 minutes to an hour to help them set and firm up. After that, you can enjoy them immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Melt some chocolate chips in the microwave and drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of each ball if desired.
