Healthy Protein Balls

Did you know that most commercial protein bars are filled with chemicals and sugars? Even though they might be high in protein they aren't very good for you. If you are looking for a quick and healthy high protein snack that you can make yourself and then bring with you wherever you go. Check out this recipe!


Healthy Protein Balls

1 16 oz jar Natural Peanut butter
2 cups vanilla-flavored whey protein powder
Unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
Unsweetened cocoa powder (optional)
Stevia (optional)

Thoroughly combine peanut butter with the protein powder The easiest way to do this is with your hands, adding a bit of the protein powder at a time while you knead. This will make a stiff but somewhat crumbly dough). Roll the dough into 1” balls. You can coat these balls with coconut or chocolate or both! I like to add a little stevia to a mixture of cocoa and coconut and coat the balls with that. A Delicious and healthy snack with 10 grams of protein per ball!
