    I cannot accept the idea that someone could


    NOT like energy bites. Unless they’re one of
    those annoying people who “doesn’t like
    healthy food” (we should have a chat), the
    only reason I can think of for why someone
    might not love protein balls is because they
    have yet to find their flavor combo.

    This is the reason why I am always trying to


    come up with new, creative flavors. From
    almond joy, to gingerbread and of course
    those blueberry muffin energy balls, I am
    absolutely convinced that there is a flavor
    and taste out there for everyone.

    The other week my friend Cat was over and


    the topic of energy balls came up. Obviously.
    Because when am I not chatting about
    energy balls? Like C (my C, not Cat) Cat is
    not a big chocolate fan. It took some digging
    but it turns out that oatmeal raisin is her jam.
    So I set out to convince another being of the
    world that energy balls are gods gift to the
    healthy snacking earth.

    I’ve since made this recipe twice. Once with


    Oatmeal Raisin, and once with Oatmeal
    Chocolate Chip and both are BOMB.

    I don’t discriminate between raisin lovers and


    chocolate lovers.

    0:20

    But I do discriminate between those who love


    protein balls recipes and those who claim to
    not like them. I prefer to pretend the latter
    just don’t exist! Life just makes more sense
    that way…

    What You Need to Make


    Protein Balls
    This protein balls recipe is fairly simple and
    uses a lot of ingredients you likely have
    around your house:

    0:30

    Rolled Oats – feel free to use certified


    gluten-free oats if necessary
    Protein Powder – I personally find whey
    works best but you can use plant-based
    protein powders if you prefer. Vanilla
    protein powder is ideal but you could
    also sub with a different flavor.
    Cinnamon – not essential but I prefer
    adding it!
    Chia Seeds – do not SKIP! The only
    alternative would be ground flax seed.
    This is essential to get the protein balls
    to stay together and are also a great
    source of fiber
    Peanut Butter – or other nut butter
    such as almond butter. Ideally natural
    and without added sugar and oil.
    Raw Honey – adds sweetness and
    helps this protein balls recipe stick
    together
    Vanilla Extract – for flavor
    Add- ins – mini chocolate chips, raisins,
    dried cranberries etc…
    Liquid – will depend on your protein
    powder how much liquid you add but
    you can use any variation of non-dairy
    milk or water. Keep adding until you get
    the desired texture.

    What I love about these no bake protein balls


    is that NO FOOD PROCESSOR is required!
    These literally could not be easier to make!

    How to Make No Bake


    Protein Balls

    STEP 1: MIX ALL INGREDIENTS


    IN ONE BOWL

    Add oats, protein powder, cinnamon and chia


    seeds to a large mixing bowl and stir. Add in
    peanut butter, honey and vanilla extract. Stir
    to combine. Add in raisins (or preferred add-
    in). Mixture should be slightly sticky but still
    crumbly.

    STEP 2: ROLL INTO BALLS

    Slowly add in liquid 1 tablespoon at a time


    and using hands (get dirty!) combine until it
    comes together in a sticky ball that holds
    together. If mixture is too dry, add in more
    liquid but not so much that it won’t hold
    shape. Roll into balls using hands. Roughly a
    tablespoon each.

    STEP 3: SET IN FRIDGE

    Place in a container to set in the fridge for at


    least 30 minutes. Store in fridge until ready to
    eat.

    YOUR QUESTIONS
    ANSWERED:
    How Long do No Bake
    Protein Balls Last?
    These peanut butter protein balls will last in
    the fridge for up to two weeks. Alternatively
    you can store them in the freezer for up to 3
    months and pull as many as you want out
    roughly 30 minutes before eating.

    How Much Protein is in


    these Energy Balls?
    This will depend entirely on which protein
    powder you are using. To calculate the
    correct amount, determine how much
    protein in 2 scoops (or 1/2 cup) and divide
    it by the number of protein balls you
    made. Note: There is also some protein in
    the other ingredients so your amount may
    actually be slightly higher.

    Likewise – I do not calculate nutrition facts


    on my recipes. You’re welcome to enter the
    ingredients into an online calculator if you’re
    looking for this information.

    Can I Make these Vegan?

    Yes! To make these protein balls vegan you


    can replace your whey protein powder with
    plant-based protein and the honey with
    brown rice syrup. DO NOT use maple syrup.
    It is not sticky enough to help the protein
    balls keep their shape.

    Are These No Bake Protein


    Balls Portable?
    Yes but I’d recommend eating them within a
    few hours of removing from the fridge. I’d
    recommend storing them in a hard glass
    container so that they don’t get squished in a
    ziploc of bag.

    Can I Make These Energy


    Balls Nut Free?
    Yes you most definitely can. Just replace the
    peanut butter with a seed butter like
    sunflower seed butter or pumpkin seed
    butter.

    Help! My Energy Bites Are


    Too Dry!
    You’ll just need to add a little bit more liquid 1
    tablespoon at a time. Every protein powder is
    slightly different so some are more absorbent
    than others. Just slowly add your liquid until a
    sticky but not too wet mixture comes
    together.
