We've been making variations of protein balls in my house for about 10 years. Some have been complicated and some have been easy. This one is super easy.
It's a variation of my Ultimate Protein Ball Recipe (be sure to click back if you need to review more specific directions or get additional ideas to make different versions):
EASY Crisp Rice Protein Balls
2 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups crisp rice cereal
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
1/4 cup chia/hemp seeds
1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
Mix together all ingredients. I did a quick stir of the dry ingredients first before I added the wet ingredients. Then I used a stand mixer to make the mixing process easier. Once everything is combined, roll them into bite sized balls. Refrigerate until use. Makes approximately 30 bite
size balls.
Note: I usually bring the mixing bowl, a clean hand towel and the dish I'm going to store them into the living room. I put on a movie and start rolling them into balls. It takes about 30 minutes and I find it relaxing and fun to watch a movie (especially Hallmark!) while I do this.
