Ingredients

2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1½ cups almond butter *see notes
1 cup whey protein powder chocolate, peanut butter, or vanilla flavor

Instructions

Add the oats to a food processor or powerful blender — blend into oat flour.
Add the almond butter and a cup of protein powder. Blend the mixture until completely incorporated. *Note - Add water a teaspoon at a time if the mixture is too crumbly to form.
Portion the mixture into 20 servings using a cookie scoop. Roll into even-sized balls. Enjoy protein balls immediately, or allow them to set for a couple of hours in the fridge for the best results.
Store protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Use natural almond or peanut butter. This natural nut butter's “runny” texture is essential for protein ball incorporation.
