Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Ball Ingredients
Making Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Balls is so EASY! The ingredients are simple and typical household staples. That means you don’t need to take a special trip to the grocery store.
To start, you need oats. Any kind works but quick or 1-minute would be best. You also need your favorite chocolate chips! I use the classic Nestle Toll House but you could also use a sugar-free variety or even white chocolate chips.
Next, crunchy peanut butter. You don’t need to use crunchy but it adds some nice texture to the balls. You will also need protein powder. I used the brand Ascent because they have a peanut butter chocolate flavor. You can snag it from Amazon or sub it with any other protein powder you have on hand.
Lastly, you just need a punch of honey, salt, and vanilla extract. These ingredients help amp up the flavor, but can be easily altered.
Once you’ve rounded up all of the ingredients you’ll be using you’ve already done the most difficult part of making peanut butter protein balls!
Your next step is to measure out the correct amounts and add them to a bowl. Then mix them all up. Next, grab your cookie scoop and grab equal amounts of the mixture and firmly roll it together with clean hands.
Lastly, place them on a cookie sheet and pop them in the freezer for about an hour. This step helps the balls to stick together. If you want to eat them immediately-go for it!
Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Ball Nutrition
Because this snack is considered ‘healthy’, I figured out the nutrition facts for you. This recipe makes 13 balls, so this is for a batch of 13. If you end up making more or less these nutrition facts will be slightly skewed.
Each protein ball contains 122kcal, 7g fat, 11g carb, and 5g protein. These are a perfectly balanced little snack or pre-workout snack. 1 or 2 is just enough calories to keep you going between meals without going overboard. 5g of protein each makes it easy to up your daily protein intake!
