Description
These Mint Chocolate Chip Protein Balls are a no-bake, high-protein snack that taste just like mint chip ice cream—soft, fudgy, and loaded with chocolatey goodness. Perfect for a quick energy boost, post-workout fuel, or a sweet and healthy treat anytime.
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup natural almond butter (creamy)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/3 cup chocolate protein powder
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
- 1–2 tablespoons milk (any kind, as needed for texture)
- Optional: pinch of salt
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, add the oats, chocolate protein powder, and optional pinch of salt. Mix to combine.
2. Add the almond butter, honey or maple syrup, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully mixed and thick.
3. If the mixture is too dry, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk, one at a time, until the mixture sticks together when pressed.
4. Stir in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
5. Use clean hands or a small scoop to roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Makes 10–12 balls.
6. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days, or freeze and thaw for 10 minutes before enjoying.
Notes
Don’t overdo the peppermint extract—just a touch gives the perfect minty flavor.
Use creamy nut butter for best texture; chunky styles may not hold together well.
These are great as a post-workout snack, breakfast on the go, or a healthy dessert.
Make a double batch and freeze for easy grab-and-go snacks throughout the week.
