These no-bake protein balls combine rolled oats, protein powder, and cocoa with a bright mint finish for a snack that satisfies a chocolate craving without much effort. They come together in one bowl and firm up in the fridge, making them a practical make-ahead option for post-workout fuel or lunchbox additions.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Method

  1. In a large bowl, stir together the rolled oats, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, and salt until evenly combined.

  2. Add the peanut butter, honey, milk, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract. Stir until a thick, sticky dough forms.

  3. Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

  4. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up and make rolling easier.

  5. Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough per ball and roll between your palms into a smooth sphere. Repeat with remaining dough to form about 20 balls.

  6. Arrange the balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set before serving.

  7. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
