4 BEST Simple Go-To Protein Powder Ball Recipes
I have been making protein balls like crazy the past few weeks. After talking with my doctor about going gluten (and now dairy) free, protein balls or power balls have become my go to convenient snack. They are super easy to make and keep me satisfied for a couple hours! My two boys (6 and 4) love to help me stir the ingredients and roll them into little balls 🙂
I posted about these recipes on Instagram, but if you missed those posts here I am sharing our go to 3 easy protein energy ball recipes.
For all of the recipes, I used Isagenix Isalean protein powder for these and recently purchased Orgain chocolate protein powder to use in recipes as its less expensive and plant based; but any protein powder will do!
Instructions for all recipes:
-place all ingredients in a large bowl, stir together until thickened and together (use some water if not the right consistency to hold together)
– roll into balls (around 12-18 depending on your choice of size) and place on wax paper
– put balls in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour; transfer to Tupperware container and enjoy within a week or two 🙂
