- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/4 cup protein powder
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, protein powder, and shredded coconut to create an even base for the protein balls.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the peanut butter and honey to the dry ingredients, then stir thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and sticky enough to hold shape.
- Fold in Raspberries and Nuts: Gently fold in the fresh or frozen raspberries and chopped nuts if you are using them, being careful not to mash the berries.
- Form Balls: Roll the mixture into small balls approximately 1 inch in diameter, ensuring they are compact and hold together well.
- Chill to Set: Place the protein balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
- Store Properly: Transfer the set protein balls to an airtight container and keep refrigerated until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen raspberries according to availability; frozen berries should be thawed slightly before mixing.
- The chopped nuts are optional but add a nice crunch and extra protein.
- These protein balls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter and omit nuts.
- Adjust honey amount to taste depending on preferred sweetness level.
