Ingredients
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 (+ more for rolling)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Water, as needed
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place all the ingredients except the additional sprinkles into a medium bowl to prepare your base mixture.
- Mix Dough: Use a wooden utensil to stir until the ingredients start to come together. As the mixture thickens, knead it with your hands to form a malleable, slightly oily dough. Add water a teaspoon at a time if the dough feels too dry, aiming for a consistency similar to cookie dough.
- Form Balls: Use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop to portion out the dough. Roll each portion between your palms to shape into smooth balls.
- Coat with Sprinkles: Spread additional rainbow sprinkles on a plate. Roll each protein ball in the sprinkles, then gently roll them again between your palms to ensure an even coating.
- Store and Serve: Place the finished balls on a plate and enjoy immediately or store in the freezer. They will keep fresh for up to 3 months frozen.
Notes
- Use drippy cashew butter for best texture; avoid dry or overly thick nut butters.
- If mixture is too dry, add water slowly to prevent it from becoming too sticky.
- Store the protein balls in an airtight container in the freezer for long-term preservation.
- These protein balls are great for meal prep and quick energy boosts.
- For variation, substitute sprinkles with crushed nuts or coconut flakes if preferred.
