Ingredients
  

1 cup creamy almond butter

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (your choice of sweetener)

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup protein powder (choose chocolate or vanilla flavored)

1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Optional: shredded coconut or finely chopped nuts for rolling

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, add the creamy almond butter, your chosen sweetener (honey or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Use a spatula or spoon to stir vigorously until the mixture becomes smooth and well-combined.

    Into the same bowl, incorporate the rolled oats, cocoa powder, protein powder, and sea salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined and the mixture appears thick and slightly sticky.

      Carefully fold in the mini dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture for a delightful chocolate surprise in every bite.

        With clean hands, scoop out approximately one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball shape. If you like, roll the balls in shredded coconut or finely chopped nuts to add an extra layer of flavor and a beautiful finish.

          Arrange the rolled balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they're spaced apart. Continue this process until all the mixture has been rolled into bites.

            Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill the protein balls for at least 30 minutes. This cooling time will help firm them up, making them easier to handle and enhancing the overall flavors.

              After they've chilled, transfer the protein balls to an airtight container. Keep them stored in the refrigerator for up to one week, or for longer-term storage, freeze them and enjoy later.
