Cookie Dough Protein Balls
Description
Cookie Dough Protein Balls feature a base of blended Medjool dates and rolled oats that create a sticky, dough-like texture. Adding vanilla protein powder and natural peanut butter enriches the flavor and protein content, while unsweetened almond milk softens the mixture for easier shaping. Incorporating dark chocolate chips gives a pleasant contrast with sweet, melty pockets in each bite. These balls are portioned using a scoop and refrigerated or frozen to maintain freshness.
Because these protein balls are ready without cooking, they make a convenient snack for energy on-the-go or a post-workout treat. Their balanced texture combines chewy fruit and oats with creamy peanut butter and occasional chocolate bites. They can be stored in airtight containers in the fridge for up to two weeks or frozen for longer shelf life.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats old fashioned
- 8 date Medjool, pitted
- 1/2 cup protein powder vanilla
- 1/2 cup peanut butter natural
- 1/4 cup almond milk unsweetened
- 2 Tablespoons dark chocolate chips I like to use Lily's
Instructions
- Add dates to a food processor and pulse until they form a thick paste. Add in rolled oats and pulse a few more times until just combined.
- Place date and oat mixture into a bowl. Stir in protein powder and peanut butter. Then add almond milk and stir well to combine. If the mixture seems dry, add an extra splash of almond milk. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Scoop dough from the bowl using a small/medium cookie scoop and form into balls using your hands. You should get about 24 balls.
- Place balls into a sealed storage container and store in the fridge for 1-2 weeks or the freezer for 1-2 months.
