Protein Balls
These protein balls are super customizable. As long as you have the base ingredients (protein powder, oats, almond butter, agave, coconut oil, bananas) then you can interchange mix-in ingredients for different flavor profiles. Try adding shredded coconut, cacao nibs, walnuts, pecans, cashews, or freeze-dried strawberries!
I used plant-based protein powder that I found in the food section at Home Goods–if you didn’t know, Home Goods has a great selection of healthy food products, even though it’s not a grocery store/market. I love these protein balls because you can’t even taste the powder in them, yet still get a protein boost.
These store well in freezer–just let them defrost for a few minutes before eating!
With so much time on my hands, I’ve been making a lot of my own snacks, desserts, and meals. This is great because they are minimally processed, I know exactly what is going into them, and it is much cheaper than buying protein bars–some cost up to $3.30!
