- Using a 1 1/2" cookie scoop, scoop out the mixture and roll it into balls until you've used it all. Place the protein balls on the prepared pan and chill 20-30 minutes as needed. If they're firm enough, they may be eaten immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
- Pro tip: The type of protein powder that you use will affect the texture of the protein balls. If the dough is too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of dairy or non-dairy milk. If the dough is too sticky, add 1-2 more tablespoons of protein powder or flaxseed meal.
- Store peanut butter protein balls in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
