Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup whey protein powder
- 0.25 cup cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup almond butter
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whey protein powder and cocoa powder to ensure there are no lumps.
Add the almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir well until fully combined and smooth.
Add the salt, old-fashioned oats, dark chocolate chips, and chia seeds to the mixture. Stir until evenly distributed.
Gradually add the milk, stirring continuously to help bind the ingredients. The mixture should be firm enough to hold its shape but not too dry.
Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate the chocolate balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set.
Store the protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
