chocolate chips

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate chips

protein powder

🥗Healthier: plant-based protein powder

💰Cheaper: powdered milk

Powdered milk is often less expensive and adds protein.

Mix oats and protein powder in a large bowl.

Heat peanut butter and maple syrup on the stove until melted, adding a tiny bit of coconut oil for flavor if desired.

Once melted, mix the peanut butter and maple syrup with the dry ingredients until well combined.

If the mixture is too dry, add warm water to achieve a moist consistency.

Add chia seeds to absorb excess water and help bind the mixture.

Roll the mixture into balls, using your hands, and coat them in crushed coconut chips if desired.

Place the protein balls in a container and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour to firm up.

Enjoy the protein balls as a healthy snack.
