We love making chocolate peanut butter protein balls for snacks! Not only are they a healthy option compared to most snacks, but just a couple keeps you full for what seems like forever!

Plus they are the perfect size and make great pre and post-workout snacks. They are also kid-friendly and are easy to pack when on the go.

Ingredients Needed for No Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Balls

Rolled Oats – these work the best, I wouldn’t recommend using steel cut or instant oats.
Flaxseed Meal – this works the best in terms of nutrition and tastes better than whole flax seeds.
Chia Seeds
Protein Powder – I used peanut butter chocolate
peanut butter – my favorite is the natural drippy kind. There shouldn’t be anything else in it other than peanuts and salt.
maple syrup – if you aren’t vegan you can also use honey
cocoa powder

Tips for Making

For a nut-free option, you can use sunflower butter or tahini in place of peanut butter.
To keep these vegan, be sure to check your protein powder. I like this one for a vegan and gluten-free option. They also have tons of flavors to choose from!
