Homemade Protein Balls Recipe- How to make them with just 4 ingredients (vegan and gluten-free!)

peanut butter

🥗Healthier: almond butter

💰Cheaper: sunflower seed butter

Almond butter is lower in calories and offers a different flavor.

honey

🥗Healthier: maple syrup

💰Cheaper: agave syrup

Maple syrup provides a similar sweetness with a different flavor profile.

chocolate chips

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate chips

💰Cheaper: cocoa nibs

Cocoa nibs reduce sugar while adding a chocolate flavor.

protein powder

🥗Healthier: plant-based protein powder

💰Cheaper: powdered milk

Powdered milk is often less expensive and adds protein.

Add certified gluten-free rolled oats to a large mixing bowl.

Add peanut butter or any nut/seed butter of your choice to the bowl.

Pour in maple syrup and mix until a thick dough remains.

Add vanilla protein powder and mix really well until completely uniform and smooth.

Fold in chocolate chips until combined.

Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls, smaller than a golf ball.

Place the balls on a plate and chill for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
