Ingredients
Protein balls
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter about 256 g; stir if separated
- 1/4 cup honey about 84 g
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats about 80 g
- 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder about 30 g; check the package's scoop weight
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips about 43 g
- 1 pinch fine salt
- 0–2 tsp water only if the rested dough is crumbly
Instructions
Mix and chill
- Stir peanut butter, honey, and vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth.
- Add oats, protein powder, mini chocolate chips, and salt. Mix until evenly coated. Rest 5 minutes so the oats hydrate.
- Squeeze a spoonful; it should hold together. If crumbly, work in water one teaspoon at a time. If sticky, chill briefly before rolling.
- Scoop and roll into 16 even balls. Chill in a covered container for about 30 minutes, until firm.

Notes
The companion Home & Kind video shows milled flaxseed; this measured card uses vanilla protein powder. Protein powders vary in absorbency and nutrition; adjust water by feel and recalculate if changing brands. Keep covered at 40°F or below; chill promptly and use within 3 to 4 days or freeze for longer storage. Contains peanuts; check the powder and chips for other allergens. Nutrition is an estimate per one of 16 balls.
