Apple and Date Protein Power Ball Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats

• 1 cup chopped dried dates (pitted)

• 1 cup grated apple (about 1 medium apple)

• 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)

• 1/2 cup almond butter (or any nut butter)

• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

• A pinch of salt

• Optional toppings: shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or seeds

Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped dates, grated apple, protein powder, cinnamon, and salt.

2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the almond butter and honey (or maple syrup) until smooth.

3. Mix Everything Together: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is well combined. If the mixture is too crumbly, add a little water or additional honey until it holds together.

4. Shape the Balls: Using your hands, scoop out about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

5. Optional Coating: If desired, roll the power balls in shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or seeds for extra texture.

6. Chill: Place the protein power balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

7. Store: Once chilled, transfer the power balls to an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
