Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup all-natural drippy cashew butter
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles, plus more for rolling
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste
- Water, as needed
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the cashew butter, vanilla protein powder, rolled oats, honey, rainbow sprinkles, and vanilla paste into a medium bowl.
- Mix the Dough: Use a wooden utensil to mix all ingredients until well combined. When the mixture becomes thick, switch to kneading it with your hands to form a malleable, slightly oily dough. If the mixture feels too dry, add water one teaspoon at a time until it resembles a cookie dough consistency.
- Form the Balls: Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll each portion between your palms to form smooth, round balls.
- Add Extra Sprinkles: Pour additional rainbow sprinkles onto a plate. Roll each protein ball in the sprinkles, then roll again between your palms to evenly coat them.
- Store and Serve: Place the finished protein balls on a plate. Enjoy immediately or store them in the freezer for up to 3 months to keep fresh.
Notes
- Adjust water carefully to avoid making the dough too sticky or too dry.
- Use a drippy cashew butter for easier mixing and better texture.
- Store protein balls in an airtight container in the freezer for longer shelf life.
- These protein balls can be customized by swapping sprinkles for mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
- Perfect as a quick snack or pre/post-workout energy boost.
