Make these simple, no-bake protein balls using just four ingredients. They are perfect for a quick, high-protein snack, post-workout fuel, or a clean treat you can meal prep easily.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, and honey in a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until a uniform, slightly sticky dough forms.
  3. Stir in the mini chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  4. Roll the dough into small, bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  5. Place the protein balls on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow them to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • For a sugar-free protein balls option, substitute the honey with a sugar-free syrup alternative.
  • If the mixture seems too dry, add one teaspoon of water or almond milk at a time until the dough holds together.
  • Store these meal prep protein bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
