No Bake Peanut Butter and Chocolate Protein Ball Recipe

Prep Time: 8 minutes

Refrigerate: 20 minutes

Moulding time: 10 minutes

Refrigerate: 10 minutes

1 Cup crunchy peanut butter (with as few ingredients as possible) – warm

60g low sugar protein powder

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup rolled oats

pinch of salt

2 tbsp chocolate chips

Method: Mix all ingredients except chocolate chips together well with a wooden spoon and possibly a fork – it will be tough at first, so ensure peanut butter is warm and water is also warm. It will quickly even out  and ingredients will mix.

Do not use a blender as the crunch will be taken out. 

  • When mix is stirred, fully refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • Take out and using a small ice cream scoop, scoop out balls of mixture and roll into smooth balls.

– Refrigerate and keep up to 1 week. Can also be frozen in airtight container.
