No-Bake Protein Balls
Ingredients
- 2 cups uncooked/unsweetened high fiber oat
- 2 ripe large bananas
- 1 cup almond butter/peanut butter, (no sugar, no salt added)
- 1 cup vanilla or any protein powder of your choice , (preferably unsweetened)
- ½ cup dried black currants or raisins
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3-4 tablespoon hemp oil/coconut oil, (if you don't have any of these, just use the oil from the almond/peanut butter)
Optional:
- ½ cup dried unsweetened coconut flakes
- agave nectar/honey/maple syrup , (if needed)
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients above in a food processor, then blend until smooth.
- Fill a cookie scooper scoop with the dough tightly and scrape the excess off with your hands. It’s important to press tightly with your hands so it’s very compact. Release the ball from the scooper, then use your hands to mold the dough into a ball by pressing gently on all sides. Let the balls sit for about 15 minutes then roll them into smoother looking balls. You can also chill the mixture in the fridge for about 1-2 hours before molding them into balls to make them stick together more easily. Repeat this process for each ball.
- Serve immediately or keep cold until serving.
