- 1/2 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/4 cup protein powder
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, protein powder, and shredded coconut until evenly blended.
- Add wet ingredients: Add the peanut butter and honey to the dry mixture, stirring thoroughly until the mixture is uniform and sticky.
- Fold in raspberries and nuts: Gently fold in the raspberries and optional chopped nuts, being careful not to break the raspberries too much to maintain their texture.
- Form the balls: Roll the mixture into small balls approximately 1 inch in diameter, using your hands to shape each one tightly.
- Chill to set: Place the protein balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to firm up completely.
- Store properly: Once set, transfer the protein balls to an airtight container and keep refrigerated to maintain freshness and texture.

- You can substitute almond butter for peanut butter if preferred.
- Use gluten-free oats to make the recipe gluten-free.
- For a vegan version, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Store protein balls in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
- Chopped nuts are optional; you can omit or replace with seeds like chia or flax for added nutrition.
