Have you ever needed a small quick snack that won’t destroy your macros for the day? Then I have the perfect little treat for you. These protein balls come together in just a few minutes, high in protein and will give you a boost in energy.
I make these every few weeks because they are great for a quick bite to eat before a workout or a nice snack to have to tide me over between meals. I recommend giving these a shot if you are looking for a healthier alternative for other sweet treat you may be craving if you are on a health or weight loss journey.
If this flavor isn’t for you, I’ll have more recipes out soon with different flavors for you to try. But in the mean time, give these a shot and let me know what you think!

One item to note on this recipe is you do not want to add too much liquid. If you add too much milk these will be really hard to roll into balls. If you do that, don’t worry, there is an easy fix. I take a small container, line it with parchment paper and press the batter into it. I then let it chill as normal but after the hour passes, I cut them into squares and they taste the exact same. A quick fix for a common mistake! It probably happens to me half of the times I make these.
