PB & Chocolate Power Balls

A simple, healthy and satisfying snack made with peanut butter, chocolate protein powder, dates, almonds, and oats. These no-bake power balls are easy to prepare ahead of time and perfect for a quick snack or a little something sweet.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup of plant-based chocolate protein powder (My fave is Complete by Juice Plus+)
• ½ cup creamy peanut butter
• ¾ cup Medjool dates, pitted
• ¼ cup water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup raw almonds
• 2 cups old-fashioned oats

Instructions

1. Combine the dry ingredients: Add the oats and raw almonds to a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped.
2. Add remaining ingredients: Add the chocolate protein powder, peanut butter, Medjool dates, water, and vanilla extract.
3. Blend: Process on low until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture begins to stick together.
4. Form the balls: Roll the mixture into approximately 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined surface.
5. Refrigerate: Transfer the power balls to an airtight container and refrigerate until firm.
