Instructions

  • Choose the protein balls you're going to make. Mix the oats and protein powder together in one large bowl, then mix together honey, coconut oil and nut butter of choice in another bowl. Microwave wet ingredients for 30-40 seconds, then fold into dry ingredients.
  • Mix in your add-ins according to which protein ball recipe you choose to make. For instance, if you choose to make the macaroon recipe, stir in the shredded coconut.
  • Roll dough into 1-inch balls, then place on a baking tray or large baking dish and chill for 30 minutes to 1 hour in the fridge. Store in the fridge for up to 14 days, or freeze up to 3 months.

Notes

Nutrition info is per protein ball.
To make these protein balls nut-free and vegan, use sunflower butter instead of nut butter and maple syrup instead of honey.
Experiment with different mix-ins – as long as you keep the oats, protein powder, honey, coconut oil and butter, you can mix and match with different toppings.
Store these protein balls in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Freeze this recipe for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight or on the counter.
