Are Protein Balls Good For You?

Yes, protein balls are good for you – as long as they’re made with good ingredients (many of the store bought ones aren’t)! These energy bites bites are actually high in protein, and have healthy fats and carbs too!

There are so many things to love about these bites (aside from them being delicious!). Here are some of the reasons why we love them.

• Easy to Make– With only 6 ingredients and a few steps, these are super simple to make. Simply mix together, press into a pan, chill & enjoy
• Customizable– You can easily change up the nut butter, add ins, or other ingredients to customize the flavor of these.
• High protein- Most energy bites have lots of carbs or fat. These protein bites have equal amounts of protein, carbs, and fats. They would be a great post workout snack!

Variations of No Bake Protein Balls

Gluten Free: To make gluten free make sure you use certified gluten free oats.

Maple Syrup: We have not tried replacing maple syrup with honey. I think it may work but can’t be sure.

Peanut Butter– Do not use regular peanut butter such as Jif/Skippy. This needs to be a natural peanut butter with natural oils. We haven’t tested cashew or almond butter but think it would work.

Protein Powder– Different proteins will create different flavor profiles, nutrition info and texture. The protein used here was Gold Standard Vanilla Whey Protein. We haven’t tested this recipe with vegan or other protein powder but it may work! A reader tried chocolate protein and loved it, but we haven’t tried that yet.

Oat Flour– Oat flour is simply old fashioned oats ground to a fine texture. If you don’t have oat flour, grind your own old fashioned rolled oats with a food processor or blender until very fine. Purchased oat flour will often have a finer texture. If you want something with whole oats, try these Peanut Butter Oatmeal Energy Balls or Honey Almond Bites.

To make lower calorie: Omit the chocolate chips.

How to store Protein Bites

Refrigerator: Protein balls can be wrapped and stored in the fridge for up to a week in an airtight container. You can’t keep these protein bites out of the fridge for more than a few hours, they will get moldy.

Freezer: You can store the bites in the freezer for 3 months. We prefer to eat the protein balls right from the refrigerator but they will be fine if frozen. They might dry out a bit if frozen.
