Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup quick cook oats certified gluten-free

  3. Add 1 tablespoon at a time of water (up to about 3-4 tablespoons total) until the consistency is like a dough and all the oats are coated.
  4. Mix in the chocolate chips.

Notes

  • The consistency of these protein balls varies depending on the protein powder used; start with 1 tablespoon of water and add up to 3-4 tablespoons as needed. Alternatively, use a food processor to grind ingredients (except chocolate chips) for a smoother texture. If using plain protein powder, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra flavor. Each serving is about 100 calories with 5 grams of protein.
