Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Balls

jillian mariani

Certain members of my family are confirmed chocoholics.  And we all love the combo of chocolate and creamy peanut butter.  So a chocolate PB version of Niyama protein energy balls was definitely something requested in our household.  Truthfully, protein energy balls have become a staple in our freezer, they are so easy to make and a great alternative to commercial protein bars, which can get pricey with a larger family like ours, and there are only a few that i really feel good about all the ingredients.  We still keep a few bars in the pantry but more and more we are reaching for a couple homemade energy balls instead!  Make them in 10 minutes and keep them in a tupperware container in the freezer to grab as needed. Best eaten after partially thawed.  

This new Chocolate PB version is seriously delicious and VERY satisfying!  The chocolate chips are totally optional, as are the chia seeds.  

Enjoy!!!

 

Prep time: 10 mins | Cook time: 0 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 scoops Niyama Organic Plant Protein (Vanilla)

    2 tablespoons organic raw cocoa powder

    1 cup oats - GF, organic

    1/4 cup maple syrup

    1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

    1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract

    1 cup organic peanut butter - smooth works best but crunchy is fine too

    Optional Add-ins:

    1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

    1 tablesppon chia seeds

Directions

  • In a mixing bowl combine protein powder, cocoa and oats.  Add in the PB, melted coconut oil, vanilla and maple syrup and mixed together - it will be a cookie dough consistency. if using the chia or choc chips mix them in now. 

    Taking a tablespoon of the dough, roll into a ball and place on a tray or plate lined with parchment paper.  Chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes prior to eating, or if you like ot keep them in the freezer, place the tray in the freezer for 15 minutes to set, then transfer to an airtight container and return to the freezer. They will keep for a week in the fridge and for a couple months in the freezer.  Allow to defrost for a few minutes prior to eating if you freeze them.
