Sharing my Homemade Protein Balls: A Delicious & Nutritious Snack

This weekend, I brought some homemade protein balls to share in class, and they were a hit! Since many of you asked for the recipes, I wanted to share them here. I don’t always follow exact measurements, but these should be close—feel free to adjust based on your preferences!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Balls

These are rich, satisfying, and packed with energy—perfect for a quick snack before or after yoga!

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats

Instructions:

1. If you prefer a smoother texture, use a food processor to grind the oats before mixing.

2. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.

3. Roll the mixture into bite-sized balls and place them on a lined tray.

4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before enjoying!

Tips & Variations:
