Ingredients
  

1 cup almond butter (smooth or crunchy)

1/2 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if desired)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (for a vegan option)

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (or vegan chocolate chips)

1/4 cup protein powder (chocolate or vanilla flavor)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added nutrition)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Optional toppings: shredded coconut, crushed nuts, or cocoa powder for rolling

Instructions
 

Combine dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution.

    Add wet ingredients: Add the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract to the dry mixture.

      Mix thoroughly: Use a spatula or your hands to combine the mixture thoroughly until it becomes a sticky dough. If the mixture is too dry, add a splash of water or extra almond butter to achieve the right consistency.

        Incorporate the chocolate chips: Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

          Form the balls: Using your hands, scoop out about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat this process until all the mixture is used up. You should get about 12-15 balls, depending on the size.

            Add toppings (optional): If you'd like, roll each protein ball in shredded coconut, crushed nuts, or cocoa powder for extra flavor and texture.

              Chill: Place the protein balls on a parchment-lined plate or container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

                Serve and enjoy: Once chilled, enjoy these delicious almond butter chocolate protein balls as a healthy snack or a post-workout treat. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to a week!
