¾ cup Vegan Vanilla Pea Protein Powder note 2
¼ cup Maple Syrup note 3
½ cup Puffed Quinoa note 4

Optional

¼ cup Dairy-Free Dark Chocolate Chips note 5

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, stir peanut butter, maple rice syrup, protein powder, puffed quinoa (or rolled oats), and chocolate chips if used.
Stir until it comes together into a dough. If too dry or crumbly, fix it by adding up to 1 tablespoon of almond milk. The dough should have enough liquid to stick together when squeezed in your hand.
Divide the dough into 16 balls, and roll each in your hand to form a smooth protein ball.
Place the protein balls into a airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Notes

Note 1: Make sure you use a fresh jar of natural peanut butter. It needs to be drippy and oily to make the protein ball dough form easily without adding any extra liquids. Other options are almond butter, sunflower seed butter, or cashew butter.

Note 2: You can use any protein powder you love. I recommend using a clean protein powder. Mine has 3 ingredients, no additive like gums or artificial sweetener.

Note 3: Any liquid sweetener works, like agave syrup or sugar free syrup but this last option will change the texture of the dough. In fact, some sugar-free syrup are either high in water or high in fiber, making the dough from too wet to too dry, meaning you will have to adjust the amount of protein powder to come to a nice texture that roll into balls.

Note 4: Use any cereals you love like rolled oats. I love puffed quinoa or puffed soy crisp, because they are higher in protein.

Note 5: Create a range of protein ball flavors and replace the chocolate chips with chopped almonds, dried raisins or cranberries, pumpkin seeds, or hemp seeds for a big boost of protein.

Storage: You can store the balls in the fridge for up to 1 week in a sealed container. You can also freeze them in an airtight container for up to 1 month and thaw them in the fridge the day before.
