Protein Ball Recipe (let’s get basic)

I know I know.. how many no-bake recipes can one possibly be obsessed with BUT being newly postpartum, I am rediscovering my love for simple + quick + healthy + freaking delicous snacks that I can easily eat with one hand. And nursing is leaving me all sorts of starving so LETS EAT.

We kept this recipe dairy-free as little babe seems to have a slight sensitivity. This one was a hit for the whole fam!

---

Ingredients:

1.5C oats (great for boosting milk supply!)

1C unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or dairy-free milk of choice)

1C peanut butter (or nut butter of choice)

2 scoops plant-based protein powder

1/4C pure maple syrup

1/4C ground flax seed

Optional Add-Ins:

brewers yeast (helps boost milk supply)

chia seeds (great for constipation)

dark chocolate or dairy-free chocolate chips (delicious)

serving size: 1 Tbsp

makes roughly 38 balls

Directions:

1. place ingredients in food processor (you can also mix by hand, but we found this gave us our favorite dough-like consistancy)

2. scoop into 1 Tbsp balls

*store in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to 1 week (if they last that long) and freeze the rest to save for later*

SAVOR + ENJOY!
