Packed with protein and superfoods to help keep you feeling full, these No-Bake Protein Balls with Nut Butter are one of my favorite grab-and-go snacks! They are also perfect for an on-the-go breakfast, for the mid-day crash / afternoon slump, or for a sweet tooth craving. No-Bake Protein Balls are an absolute hit for the whole family!
Many of the ingredients for these No-Bake Protein Balls can be interchanged to switch up the flavors each week. This is nice because if you are like me, I get bored eating the same thing week after week. Flexibility of ingredients and flavors also allows the recipe to be customizable to fit your preferred flavors or to avoid any allergens you or your family may have.
I use NuttZo Mixed Nut & Seed Butter for the nut butter ingredient in this recipe. I love that it is organic and non-gmo with a nutritious blend of seven different nuts and seeds. High in protein, and low in sugar, it gives additional fuel with a punch of flavor to the protein balls. I found my jar of Nuttzo Butter at Costco, but I am sure it can be found in other stores and online too!
Speaking of Costco, last week I shared on the blog my 5 Healthy Costco Must-Haves. If you missed it, you can check it out here!
• 3/4 cup of any nut butter (NuttZo Butter is what I like to use.)
• 1 cup uncooked rolled oats
• 1 cup crispy rice cereal
• 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 scoops protein powder, any brand will do (Each time I make this recipe, I often alternate the flavors between chocolate, vanilla, & strawberry.)
• 1 cup freeze-dried raspberries or strawberries
• 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
1. Place all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir until well combined.
2. Once combined, form and roll the dough into balls by hand, or scoop the dough using a cookie scoop. Warning! This can be a sticky mess while forming the balls, but I promise it is SO worth the effort.
3. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator, and enjoy!
