Ingredients
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 scoop unflavored or vanilla protein powder (about 30g)
1/4 cup shredded coconut
2 tablespoons almond butter
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
1 tablespoon flaxseeds (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, protein powder, shredded coconut, chia seeds, flaxseeds, and sea salt.
In a small bowl, whisk together almond butter, honey, and lemon juice until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until a thick, sticky dough forms.
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, roll the mixture into 24 equal-sized balls.
Place the energy balls on a parchment-lined tray and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for later.
Notes
Ensure your rolled oats are certified gluten-free if avoiding gluten.
Adjust sweetness by increasing or decreasing honey as needed.
For a stronger lemon flavor, add zest from the lemon.
Energy balls can be customized with nuts, dried fruit, or dark chocolate chips.
