High-Protein Chocolate Chip Energy Balls
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1 serving vanilla protein powder
- 1/3 cup maple syrup (I used sugar-free maple syrup, you can also use regular maple syrup, honey or agave)
- 1 tbsp almond butter or peanut butter
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp chocolate chips
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a bowl and stir together until a very thick dough forms.
- If the dough is too dry, add a little more maple syrup or a splash of almond milk.
- Coat hands in coconut oil to prevent sticking and roll dough into balls.
- Keep in fridge in an airtight container. Enjoy!
