High Protein Energy Balls
Grab your pantry staples to easily whip up these healthy, protein and plant fiber rich energy bites filled with raw nuts/seeds/grains and only natural sugar from raw maple syrupWATCH ME MAKE THIS
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats not old fashioned oats, these will be too thick
- ¼ cup nut blend or more oats but you’ll get more plant rich nutrients out of nuts – almond, cashews, walnuts are my fav!
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter or nut butter of choice
- ¼ cup maple syrup (start low & add more if it’s not sticking together during rolling!)
- 1 tbsp chia seed
- 1 tbsp hemp seed
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips or cacao nibs for a healthier option
- 2 tbsp protein powder of choice
Instructions
Meal Prep Instructions
Grind nuts
- grind nuts using small food processor or coffee grinder – you can also finely chop but the ingredients won’t give as smooth of a texture or stick together as well.
- I use this grinder weekly to quickly and efficiently add nuts/seeds to my meals!
Mix all ingredients
- Add everything to a bowl, fold ingredients together until consistency is thick and sticky. It’s best to put gloves on and get in there with your hands to really form everything together
Rolling test
- Test by rolling and squeezing a spoonful amount in your palms to see if the ingredient’s stick and form a smooth ball. If the dough needs more structure, add more oats and if it needs to be stickier, drizzle more of creamy peanut butter and maple syrup. You may have to adjust recipe to texture preference!
Form balls
- roll and store in the fridge (they will also harden and combine more in a cooler temp so don’t worry if they feel a little mushy from the heat of your hands)
Storing:
- store in airtight food container in the fridge and enjoy within one week
