Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of rolled oats, 1/2 cup of protein powder, 1/4 cup of ground flaxseed, and a pinch of salt. Stir until evenly mixed, about 1 minute.
  2. Add 1/2 cup of natural peanut butter, 1/3 cup of honey, and 1 teaspoon of alcohol-free vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Mix thoroughly for 2-3 minutes until you achieve a thick and sticky dough.
  3. Gently fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  4. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball, placing it on a parchment-lined plate. Repeat to form about 12-15 balls, taking around 10 minutes.
  5. Refrigerate the protein balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
  6. Enjoy your No-Bake Protein Balls! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
