  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, shredded coconut, and chocolate chips. Stir well to distribute all the ingredients evenly throughout the mixture.
  2. Form Balls: Using your hands or a small scoop, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Ensure they are tightly packed so they hold together well.
  3. Chill: Place the formed protein balls on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to firm up and allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Serve and Store: Once chilled, enjoy immediately or store the protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week for a convenient, healthy snack.

Notes

  • You can substitute dark chocolate with vegan chocolate to make these vegan-friendly.
  • Add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter taste.
  • For extra texture, try adding chopped nuts or a tablespoon of flaxseed.
  • These protein balls can be frozen for up to three months; just thaw before serving.
