Delicious and energizing mint chocolate chip protein balls that provide a natural boost with every bite, perfect for a quick snack or post-workout treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup natural almond butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 2 tablespoons water (optional, for consistency)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, and ground flaxseed.
  2. Add the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and peppermint extract to the dry ingredients and mix well until fully combined.
  3. If the mixture is too dry, add water one tablespoon at a time until you can form a dough.
  4. Fold in the mini dark chocolate chips gently.
  5. Using your hands, roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  6. Place the protein balls on a baking sheet or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  7. Store the protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

For an extra minty kick, sprinkle a small amount of finely chopped fresh mint on top before refrigerating, or roll the balls in crushed peppermint candies.
