These No-Bake Protein Balls are healthy, delicious, and packed with energy. They’re great for a snack, a quick energy boost, or as a post-workout treat. Customizable with different toppings, they’re as versatile as they are tasty!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups almonds
  • 8 dates (pitted)
  • 1/4 cup cacao powder
  • 2 tbsp protein powder (store-bought or homemade with 5 seeds)
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Blend Almonds: In a food processor or blender, blend the almonds until they reach your desired consistency—whether you prefer chunky bits, fine crumbs, or a mix of both.
  2. Add Ingredients: Add the dates, cacao powder, protein powder, and salt to the blender. Blend again until the mixture is well combined and starts to clump together.
  3. Shape Balls: Using your hands, shape the mixture into about 20 balls, each large enough for 2-3 bites.
  4. Enjoy or Store: You can enjoy the protein balls “naked” right away or store them in the fridge for later. They can also be covered with toppings if desired.

Optional Toppings:

  • For Small Pieces or Powders: Poke the balls with a skewer or fork, or use your fingers to press small pieces or powders onto them.
  • For Chocolate Coating: Melt some chocolate and dip the balls in it. Quickly roll them in your chosen topping before the chocolate hardens. Place them on a parchment-paper-covered plate or tray and let the chocolate set.

Enjoy your healthy and customizable protein balls as a snack, pre-workout, or energy boost!

Notes

  • Feel free to experiment with different nuts like cashews or walnuts.
  • You can add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness, if desired.
  • These balls can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
