The 5-Minute Sweet Treat: These No-Bake Protein Balls Will Become Your Favorite Post-Gym Snack
With this healthy dessert, you can make any type of filling you prefer — feel free to experiment.
Have you ever had a dream of eating sweets that you like and not gaining an ounce of weight from them? It’s safe to say we’ve all been there, but some desserts are actually meant to be your saviours if you love spending time in the gym.
Those include now famous protein balls that are made in minutes and don’t even require baking — just store them in the fridge and get whenever you want (especially after hitting the gym).
Ingredients: 1 cup of rolled oats, 0.5 cups of peanut butter, 0.5 cups of protein powder, 0.1 cups of honey, 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, 2 tablespoons of flaxseeds, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 0.25 cups of mini chocolate chips, 0.25 teaspoon of salt.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, protein powder, honey, chia seeds, flaxseeds, vanilla extract, mini chocolate chips, and salt. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix the ingredients thoroughly until you have a smooth, dough-like consistency.
If the mixture is too dry, add a little honey or a little milk to get the desired texture.
Use your hands to form small balls about 1 inch in diameter.
Place the balls on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper.
Chill the balls in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to let them harden.
Once set, place the protein balls in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to two weeks.
