These Protein-Packed Peanut Butter Energy Balls are a quick, easy, and nutritious snack. They’re loaded with protein and healthy fats, making them perfect for anyone looking for a boost of energy throughout the day. This no-bake recipe is ideal for meal prep and on-the-go snacking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, protein powder, and chia seeds or flaxseeds. Mix until all ingredients are well combined. The mixture should be sticky enough to hold together. If too dry, add a bit more peanut butter or honey.
If using, fold in the dark chocolate chips.
Scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball using your hands. Repeat until all the mixture is used up, forming about 12 energy balls. Place the energy balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Lastly, enjoy your new favorite snack!
