Chocolate Protein Balls

Great base recipe-easy to modify. I did 2 TBS chocolate protein powder & 1 TSP cacao powder. I took half the oats, all of the flax seeds and all of the chia seeds and ground them to a powder in a coffee grinder. I used no honey, and subbed half maple syrup and half liquid date sweetener. As I was mixing it felt a little dry so added a tablespoon of no sugar added almond milk. I re-calculated the macros and Each ball ended up with 7 grams of protein & taste delicious!

Tasty, but these are not protein balls. These are basically no-bake cookies with a sprinkle of protein. When I think protein treats I think more PROTEIN. So, I added about 2 large scoops of powder. Worked well…so, if you’re looking for actual protein, load ‘er up! but keep in mind, I doubled my recipe ..we’re talking about 3800 cal for the batch into 18 balls….approx 220 to 250 cal per. More a meal. But they’re solid, beefy…they have girth! Lol. Enjoy.

I toasted the oats and added some coconut flakes. I used almond butter and less honey (2Tbs) as I dont enjoy the taste of honey. I also added way more protein powder 2 scoops. It was dry probably due to my changes so I added a splash of almond milk till it reached a cookie batter consistency. They are delicious and healthy.

Made these for my high school son. It is now a regular recipe in our house. I usually double the batch and make them so he can take them to school throughout the week.

Loved them! But I like to add a banana or 2.

I added some cinnamon and used less honey. I also used vanilla flavored protein powder. This was a great snack and I cant wait to make it again and add some new things!

My favourite sweet treat, that happens to be also nutritious 🙂 just the amount of honey is riddiculous for me personally. I add just a tablespoon for the whole batch.

I bring these for my daughter’s volleyball team, everyone including the parents absolutely love these protein balls! I’d give them more than 5 stars if I could! They are so good and healthy. I use mini dark chocolate chips to save time, they are my preferred chocolate. I’ve probably made this recipe (X’s 5-6) 30 times!

Too much honey it is over powering, but otherwise tasty

Instead of just flax seed, I used a triple seed blend of flax, chia and hemp seeds. I also substitute nut butter for peanut butter from time to time.

This is amazing on its own but I like a little more moist so I added a 1/2 cup of date purée I took out the flax but you can omit the flax or chia seeds as that be to much fiber also I ground them up. Better texture So healthy and yummy

Amazing!

Did not expect these to be so TASTY!!! It was the perfect energy boost before my Pilates class this evening before dinner. Thank you!!

Added coconut

So much flavor! I made the recipe like it is but added 1/4 cup of shredded coconut. Definitely will be keeping this recipe close by!

I just got done making a triple batch of these! my husband and I eat 2 a day every day. LOVE this recipe. I use a mix of chi, hemp and flax seeds and pure peanut butter from a health food store. awesome.

I triple the recipe and and add toasted coconut then I use a large cookie cookie scoop and bake 350’ for about 15-20 minutes. Let cookies on sheet for a few seconds remove to a cooling rack, I like to store mine in the refrigerator

These are one of my favorite go-to snacks! Tastes like it’s bad for you…but, really it’s quite healthy.

These were so good! I only used 1/4 cup honey, and I didn’t have any flax seeds. But other than that, so delicious! I will definitely be making these again. I might add chopped walnuts next time.

We made these with almond butter instead of peanut butter due to a peanut allergy and they are a big hit with my teens. Thanks for sharing!

I used almost one full scoop of mint chocolate chip protein powder for added flavour. Delish!!!
