Monster Cookie Protein Balls (No Bake)

These monster cookie protein balls are deliciously addictive and so easy, anyone can make them! The perfect pre-workout boost, afternoon pick-me-up, or sweet treat after a meal.

I just checked the batch I made a couple hours ago and there were only 2 left…I went to find Ty (the only possible one responsible) and he said I had to stop making them because they’re too good and he’ll eat them all.

Safe to say, you will love these.

What You’ll Need

Equipment

• Cookie scoop
• Parchment

Ingredients

• Quick oats: I like these for a softer texture.
• Vanilla protein powder: I’m using 1UP vanilla ice cream protein powder.
• Salt
• Peanut butter
• Honey
• Unsweetened almond milk: Or milk of choice.
• Mini chocolate chips: I use semi-sweet.
• Mini M&Ms

How To Make Them

1. Mix dry: In a small bowl or container, whisk together the oats, protein powder and a pinch of salt.
2. Add wet: Add the peanut butter, honey and almond milk. Begin stirring, slowly incorporating everything together. It will seem too dry at first, but just keep mixing until combined and you have a dough formed.
3. Mix-ins: Add the mini chocolate chips and M&Ms and keep mixing until a dough forms. It will seem too dry at first, but just keep mixing, gently pressing into the sides of the bowl. Add more milk as needed.
4. Form into balls: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to roll into 12 balls and place onto a parchment lined tray. Chill 1 hour in the freezer.

Tips

• Don’t add too much milk: Only add more milk if it’s still too dry after 1-2 minutes of stirring. If you add too much liquid, the dough will turn out way too sticky and hard to eat (if using whey protein powder).
• Don’t stack: Try not to stack these, as they will stick together. If you do, make sure to place a piece of parchment between.

Protein Powder

• I’m using the 1UP vanilla ice cream protein powder.
• If you’re using a whey/casein blend or a plant based powder, you may or may not need to adjust the amount of almond milk you add. When in doubt, I always start with less then add more.

To Store

Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer (if you need to stack them, place parchment between them). They’ll last up to 3 months in the freezer or 2 weeks in the fridge.
