Ingredients
You'll need:
- 2 cups oats I use quick cook
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder or unsweetened
- 2/3 cup shredded coconut unsweetened
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
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.
- 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.
