Oatmeal Chocolate Protein Power Balls
Oatmeal Chocolate Protein Power Balls
Sweet, satisfying, and actually good for you
The snack that does the most
These are the kind of snacks you make “for the week”…
and then accidentally eat half of them immediately.
They’re soft, chewy, just sweet enough, and packed with ingredients that actually do something for your body.
No baking. No fuss. No weird ingredients.
Just real food that tastes like a treat.
Why Honey > Everything Else
Honey isn’t just a sweetener here—it’s the glue.
It binds everything together, adds natural sweetness, and gives these that soft, satisfying texture that doesn’t dry out like a lot of protein snacks.
Plus, it gives you a quick, natural energy boost without the crash.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup rolled oats
- ¾ cup almond flour
- ⅓ cup hemp hearts
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- ½ cup peanut butter
(or almond butter / sunflower seed butter for nut-free) - ¼ cup honey
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- (Optional but highly encouraged) chocolate chips
How to Make Them
- Add everything to a large bowl.
