Monster Protein Balls
Monster Protein Balls are little snack energy bites filled with peanut butter, oats, honey, protein powder, mini chocolate chips, protein powder, and M&Ms.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup runny natural peanut butter , (see Note if using regular peanut butter))
- 3/4 cup protein powder (about 66 g), see note
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup mini M&Ms
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add all the ingredients and mix well. Roll into heaping tablespoon sized balls. Store in an airtight container in the fridge or at room temp.
Notes
I use 2 scoops of Clean Simple Eats vanilla protein which is 3/4 cup but many flavors would be good.
If you are NOT using natural peanut butter and are using a brand like Jif or Skippy, you can start by adding around 1 cup of oats (instead of 1 1/2 cups) and adding more until desired. You can always add more honey to make it less dry.
