Notes

  • 1 Protein Ball per serving
  • You may use quick oats if you don't have rolled oats.
  • Any brand of protein powder will work. You can use plant-based protein powder.
  • To make this vegan-friendly, you can use agave instead of honey and dairy-free chocolate chips.
  • You can never mess up when you make it, if you feel it's dry, add one tablespoon of water at a time, if you mess up and add too much water, then add a bit more protein powder until you get the consistency right.
  • Allow cooling in the fridge for 20-30 mins
