No-Bake, Protein-Packed, Power Snack (WEM)

Recipes | March 20, 2016

*this recipe makes 8 servings

protein balls POST

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup rolled oats
2 scoops vanilla protein
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons of smooth peanut butter
1 tablespoon raw honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup dried fruit (I used cranberries/berries blend)
1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk

Instructions:

  1. In a medium bowl, add the oats, protein powder and chia seeds.  Mix together until combined well.
  2. Add the peanut butter, vanilla extract and agave then, using a big wooden spoon, mix together until it’s clumpy but consistent throughout.
  3. Add the dried fruit and almond milk, this time using your hands, mix together and start to form little palm sized balls (pack them together really tight – add more almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time if it doesn’t stick together).
  4. Put the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let set in the fridge for approx. 30 minutes before enjoying (keep in fridge until ready to enjoy).

    I like this kind of recipe, had tried similar one with dark chocolate, was too yummy:) i think i’ll try this one without any kind of sugar, am very used to that. I just got a jug of peanut butter without salt or sugar, it tastes quite bland but i’m fine with it, actually quite like it, had it spreaded on my wheat biscuits for post w/o meal. quite enjoyed it. So i’ll try this recipe with dark chocolate, omit the sugar/agave ( don’t have that). I like the old oats texture and not cooking is a plus plus for me:)) Might use almond meal to replace oats for lighter version if this one a succeess:))

      Hi! I use Syntha 6 powder in the Vanilla Ice Cream flavour. It’s fantastic. Mixes really well into oatmeal too 🙂

      They last about a week in a refrigerator. You can also freeze them and keep them for months.
