Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Balls Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (100 grams)
- ½ cup ground flaxseed (70 grams)
- 2 ounces chocolate protein powder (60 grams or 2 scoops, or use peanut butter protein powder)

- ½ cup honey (175 grams, use a good-quality honey)
- 1 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips (177 grams, regular-size chocolate chips of any kind; white, milk, or dark)

Use a 1-tablespoon-sized cookie scoop to scoop out protein balls. Use your hands to shape the scoops into balls and place them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. If the mixture begins to dry out, microwave the mixture for 15 seconds (this may slightly melt the chocolate chips). Repeat until all of the protein ball mixture has been shaped into balls.

To prevent protein balls from sticking to each other, wrap the baking sheet in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour before combining the protein balls into an airtight container. Protein balls can be enjoyed immediately without any additional chill time.
