The easiest no bake protein balls on the internet with four different flavors – chocolate peanut butter, tahini chocolate chip, cinnamon raisin and almond joy. Take 10 minutes to whip up a batch of these protein balls and snack healthy all week long!
Who realized one tidbit could have such countless names?! Protein balls, energy nibbles, just “balls”. . . I’m certain there are much more out there. Regardless you call them, one thing is without a doubt: they are probably the best tidbit to have available for simple, sound snacking!I realize a few group love their locally acquired protein bars (and I have a couple favs as well) however I really truly like making custom made protein balls since I can handle what fixings go in with the general mish-mash AND they’re way less expensive. Also, thinking of the diverse flavor blends is so fun!
One thing I’ve seen is that a great deal of protein ball plans call for medjool dates and a food processor. I have a TON of plans that fit this bill – like my Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Protein Balls, Homemade Larabars, Pumpkin Pie Larabar Balls, Blueberry Muffin Larabar Balls, etc.That said, I realize not every person has a food processor so I’m eager to share four diverse protein ball plans that you can make without a food processor and without dates!
The cool part about this formula is that you can utilize a similar fundamental equation to make FOUR distinct plans — just by changing around a couple various fixings you have a shiny new flavor!
Some protein powders will soak up more liquid than others and some nut butters are drier than others. This is totally normal and it might cause your your protein ball mixture to seem a little dry or crumbly. If this happens, just add a little water or almond milk to the protein ball mixture, 1 teaspoon at a time until the mixture is moist enough to form into balls. Just be careful not to add too much liquid.I love to make a batch of these on the weekend so that I have grab-n-go snacks throughout the week. They’re also perfect for a pre or post-workout snack (or even dessert). I usually eat two a time!

INSTRUCTIONS
Chocolate Peanut Butter
- Place oats, peanut butter, honey, protein powder and chocolate chips in a large bowl and stir to combine.
- Getting the mixture to combine takes a little arm muscle and it may seem too thick at first, but it will come together as you keep mixing. I used my hands to knead the dough near the end and that seems to help.
- Once combined, use a small cookie scoop to scoop and form the dough into balls.
- Store in a covered container in the fridge or freezer.
Almond Joy
