December 15, 2023

These chocolate chip protein balls are a healthy holiday appetizer that gives all year round as a high protein snack or appetizer.

Have you ever found those snacks that you just can’t get enough of? The ones that you keep reaching for more or that you never get sick of? I definitely have, and these protein balls are one of those!

Not only do these taste delicious, but they also have so many great ingredients, and even better, you can adjust them to fit your needs and wants. Overall, the base ingredients will be the same, but changing out something here or there can add a whole new level of flavor.

How to Make Protein Balls

First, you will start out with your base, which will include, oats, ground flax and a protein powder. Depending on what your overall flavor is will change what kind of protein powder flavor you will use. For this recipe we are going to use chocolate.

Then you will add, the coconut flakes, honey, vanilla, salt, chia seed, peanut butter, and chocolate chips.

Mix well and scoop into bite sized pieces. Place into the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Plate them and here is your high protein appetizer. To make them look a little fancier you can dust the top with powdered sugar.

These chocolate chip protein balls are definitely a crowd pleaser, are you ready to wow your friends and family?
