PROTEIN POWER BALLS

Print
Keeping quick-fix snacks on hand is a sure way to keep hunger at bay. When your refrigerator or desk are stocked with healthy options like these power protein balls, you’ll be less likely to turn to processed foods or expensive store-bought protein bars (which often have lots of sugar). Like the originals, these protein power balls are filling and wholesome, but (thanks to the protein powder), they offer more grams of protein per ball. 

A mix of protein-packed ingredients like peanut butter, protein powder, flaxseeds, and chia seeds, along with a touch of honey for natural sweetness and cocoa powder for good measure, these easy protein power balls take fewer than 15 minutes to pull together and don’t require any special equipment. No food processor, no mixer. 

Just you, a bowl, and all the peanut butter you care to lick off your fingers!
