Ingredients:

4 scoop whey protein powder
120g
1 cup oats
80g
1/2 cup almond butter
120g
1/4 cup maple syrup
80g
1/4 cup chocolate candies
40g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Measure out all the ingredients for easy access.
- Gather a mixing bowl, a spatula or spoon, and a measuring scoop.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, add 4 scoops (120g) whey protein powder and 1 cup (80g) oats.
- Stir with a spoon or spatula to combine the dry ingredients evenly.
3. Add Wet Ingredients:
- Add 1/2 cup (120g) almond butter to the dry mixture in the bowl.
- Pour in 1/4 cup (80g) maple syrup.
- Mix thoroughly until the mixture starts to come together. The consistency should be somewhat sticky and thick.
4. Incorporate Chocolate Candies:
- Add 1/4 cup (40g) chocolate candies to the mixture.
- Gently mix to evenly distribute the candies throughout the dough. Be careful not to overmix, as this can cause the candies to break or melt.
5. Form the Balls:
- Scoop out a small portion of the mixture (about 1-2 tablespoons) and roll it between your palms to form a ball. Repeat this process until all the mixture is used. You should have approximately 15-20 protein balls, depending on the size you make them.
6. Chill:
- Place the formed protein balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in an airtight container.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the balls. This will make them easier to handle and enhance their texture.
7. Serve and Store:
- Serve chilled as a convenient, protein-packed snack.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. They can also be frozen for longer storage and thawed as needed.

Tips:

- Make sure to use a high-quality whey protein powder for the best flavor and texture.

- If the mixture is too dry, add a splash of almond milk or water to reach the desired consistency.

- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free oats.

- Feel free to substitute almond butter with peanut butter or any other nut butter you prefer.

- Store the protein power balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

- You can also freeze them for longer storage; just take a few out whenever you need them.

There you have it – simple, delicious, and nutritious Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Power Balls. With minimal preparation time and wholesome ingredients, these bites are a perfect addition to your snack repertoire. Enjoy them on the go or at home, and keep yourself fueled throughout the day.
