Step 1

Place almond butter (it must be drippy!), protein powder, rolled oats, maple syrup and mini chocolate chips into a medium bowl.

Step 2

Use a wooden spoon or your hands to mix the dough together. At this point, begin to add water by the teaspoon.

Step 3

Depending on how drippy your almond butter is, you’ll need to add more or less water. The water not only helps moisten things so your balls hold shape, but they actually help your balls become less chalky.

Step 4

Use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop dough into your palms. Roll into balls until all dough is gone. You should get somewhere between 15-20 balls.

Step 5

Store in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
