This Peanut Butter Protein Balls Recipe is so delicious! This recipe has been a family favorite since Kyla was a toddler. I would make a batch, enjoy a couple and save the rest for our weekend adventures. 

Easy to Make Protein Balls

I love making protein balls because they are like a fresh alternative to a granola bar. I often eat a snack in the morning and afternoon so I love having something healthy on hand. 

Ingredients in Protein Balls

With only 5 ingredients, that you probably already have on hand, these can be made any day of the week!

• Quick Oats - You could also use old fashioned oats but I prefer the texture of the quick oats in these.
• Peanut Butter - Creamy or Chunky Peanut butter will work. You can also use almond butter or other nut butters of preference.
• Honey - This is the easiest way to sweeten, you can also use maple syrup.
• Cinnamon - Add in this tasty spice or use nutmeg
• Chocolate Chips - You really want something with crunch. Add mini or regular size chocolate chips.
• Add ins - You can use a variety of ingredients to mix this up. Try adding almonds, dried fruit like cranberries, other crushed nuts, coconut shavings, etc. If you are really looking to pack a punch with protein, you can also include protein powder.

How to Make Protein Balls

These are one of the easiest things to make and only take about 5 minutes. Simply stir the 5 ingredients together, roll into balls and enjoy!

Storing Protein Balls

These peanut butter protein balls keep in the fridge really well. I typically store these in a zip lock or air tight container. They will stay fresh for 1-2 weeks but they are typically gone within a few days at our house.

These are great to add to a kids snack for school or put them in an air tight container that fits in your to go bag for the day.

For a fun twist, you can add dried cranberries, coconut, m&m's, nuts or white chocolate. 

These are one of our favorite family snacks! I hope you enjoy these tasty bites too!
