Description

These 5 ingredient protein balls will have you reaching in the freezer all day long. Great for runners with a boost of protein and mixture of complex and simple carbs. A perfect post workout boost with 4g of protein per ball.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup oats
  • 1/4 cup walnuts
  • 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder 
  • 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup dates, pitted
  • Garnish with flaked sea salt - optional but recommended 🙂

Instructions

  1. Put all of the ingredients into a food processor and mix on high for 2-3 minutes until a large ball is formed. If it's not forming, keep mixing. 
  2. Using a scooper or spoon, scoop out 15-18 balls onto a sheet pan. Garnish with sea salt if desired and place in the freezer for at least 10 minutes before eating. 

Notes

I would recommend storing them in the freezer.
