Peanut Butter and Jelly Protein Balls
Easy no bake peanut butter and jelly protein bites made with peanut butter, dried strawberries, oats and chocolate chips. 80 calories and 4 grams of protein each!
Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 2 coops protein powder organic vanilla
- ½ heaping cup peanut butter creamy
- ¼ cup apple sauce if needed, unsweetened, plus 1-2 tablespoons more
- ½ cup freeze-dried strawberries organic
- 2 Tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 2 Tablespoons mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Place oats, protein powder, freeze-dried strawberries and chocolate chips into a small bowl and stir to combine.
- In a separate bowl mix together the peanut butter, applesauce and honey/maple syrup. Pour the wet peanut butter mixture over the dry mixture and stir well. Combining this mixture will take a little stirring power and it may seem a little crumbly at first. I used my hands to knead the dough near the end and that seems to help. If it's too crumbly, you can add an extra tablespoon of applesauce to moisten it.
- Once combined, start forming the dough into one inch balls.
- Store in a covered container in the fridge or freezer.
