Ingredients:

1/4 scoop whey protein powder
8g
4 dates
100g
4 tbsp peanut butter
66g
1 oz chia seeds
27g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dates:
- Begin by pitting the dates if they aren’t already pitted.
- Soak the dates in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften them. This will make them easier to blend.
2. Blend the Dates:
- After soaking, drain the dates and place them in a food processor or high-powered blender.
- Blend until you get a smooth paste. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a tiny bit of water to help it along.
3. Combine Ingredients:
- To the food processor, add the peanut butter, whey protein powder, and chia seeds.
- Blend until all the ingredients are well incorporated. The mixture should start coming together into a dough-like consistency. If it feels too dry, you can add a bit more peanut butter or a small amount of water to achieve the right consistency.
4. Form the Balls:
- Once the mixture is ready, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into balls using your hands. If the mixture is too sticky, lightly dampen your hands with water to make rolling easier.
5. Refrigerate:
- Place the protein balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or a plate.
- Pop them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
6. Store:
- Once they are set, you can transfer the protein balls to an airtight container.
- Store them in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for longer-term storage.

Tips:

- Choose Medjool dates for their natural sweetness and soft texture, making them easier to blend.

- Make sure to use all-natural peanut butter without any added sugars or oils for a healthier recipe.

- If you find the mixture too sticky to roll into balls, wet your hands slightly with water to prevent sticking.

- Feel free to add a pinch of salt or a dash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.

- Store the protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze them for longer shelf life.
