Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup vanilla protein powder
- ½ cup natural peanut butter
- ½ cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to prevent the protein balls from sticking.
- Mix ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the vanilla protein powder, natural peanut butter, and maple syrup thoroughly.
- Combine into dough: Stir the ingredients well until they form a smooth, cohesive dough.
- Form balls: Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to scoop heaping tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Freeze to set: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 45 minutes or until the protein balls are firm and set.
Notes
- For a firmer texture, leave the balls in the freezer for up to an hour.
- You can store these protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Optional: add mix-ins like chocolate chips, chia seeds, or chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.
- Using natural peanut butter with no added sugar or oils is best for a healthier version.
