Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine whole rolled oats, creamy peanut butter, ground flaxseed, honey, protein powder, vanilla extract, and mini chocolate chips. Use a sturdy spatula or spoon to mix these ingredients thoroughly for about 2–3 minutes.
  2. Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion out the mixture and roll each portion between your hands to form smooth balls. This step will yield about 12-15 hearty no-bake protein balls.
  3. Place the protein balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or a plate, then chill them in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours to firm up.
  4. Once firm, transfer the protein balls to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
