Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups Rice Krispies Cereal
  • ½ cup Protein Powder
  • ¼ cup Mini Chocolate Chips (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup Nut Butter
  • ¼ cup Honey or Maple Syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the nut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  2. Add the Dry Ingredients: To the wet mixture, add the protein powder and Rice Krispies cereal. Mix everything together until the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
  3. Incorporate the Chocolate Chips: If you’re using mini chocolate chips, fold them into the mixture now. This adds a delicious little surprise in each bite!
  4. Form the Protein Balls: Using your hands, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls. Aim for about 1-inch balls, but feel free to make them larger or smaller depending on your preference.
  5. Chill and Set: Place the protein balls on a baking sheet or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.
  6. Enjoy: Once set, your Rice Krispies Protein Balls are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, use maple syrup and ensure protein powder is plant-based.
  • Feel free to substitute nut butter with sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version.
  • Adjust the size of the balls to suit your snack needs.
  • Store protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
  • Optional add-ins like chopped nuts or dried fruit can be added for extra texture and flavor.
