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
How to Make Vegan Protein Balls
Combine all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir.
Roll into balls and place on a parchment lined baking sheet for at least 30 minutes.
Serve or store for later!
How Long Do Protein Balls Last?
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
To freeze, place the baking sheet of protein balls into the freezer until they are solid. Afterwards, separate into individual servings and freeze for up to 1 month.

Tips for Making
- For a nut-free option, you can use sunflower butter or tahini in place of peanut butter.Â
