Protein Balls
Protein Balls combine rolled oats, peanut butter, maple syrup, chia seeds, chocolate protein powder, and dark chocolate chips to create small, energy-packed snacks. The mixture is chilled and then shaped into firm, no-bake balls. These bites offer a combination of chewy oats, creamy nut butter, and bursts of chocolate with added protein benefits.
