21 Day Fix Protein Balls
These Oatmeal Peanut Butter Protein Balls are a delicious snack or dessert! They can easily be made into homemade protein bars instead of balls, and customized with chocolate chips, coconut, flax seed, or your favorite ingredients!

Ingredients
You'll need:
- 2 cups oats I use quick cook
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder or unsweetened
- ⅔ cup unsweetened shredded coconut unsweetened
- ½ cup peanut butter
- ⅓ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Optional - 2 Tbsp of: chia seeds, flaxseed, and mct powder
Instructions
Here's how to put them together:
- In a large bowl, mix together all of the ingredients. 2 cups oats, 1/2 cup chocolate chips, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 2/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/3 cup honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Using a stand mixer for this recipe is the best way to get the ingredients to stick together nicely and make the protein balls easy to roll. If you don’t have a stand mixer, a hand mixer or spoon will do!
- Chill mixture in the refrigerator for an hour, then roll out balls about an inch in diameter. The chilling helps you roll the mixture.
- Store in an airtight container. I prefer to keep them in the fridge.

Notes
For the 21 Day Fix, I treat these like a healthy dessert–2 balls = 1 yellow container treat swap. If you're comfortable pushing the top of the calorie range for treat swaps, you could have three.
