Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup creamy natural almond butter (or cashew or peanut butter)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 3 tablespoons sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Combine wet ingredients: Whisk the honey, almond extract, vanilla extract, and almond butter together until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  2. Add dry ingredients: Stir in the vanilla protein powder and sprinkles. Use your hands to knead the mixture until fully combined and the dough is consistent throughout.
  3. Form balls: Scoop the dough in 1 ½ tablespoon-sized portions and roll each into a ball using your palms.
  4. Store or serve: Enjoy the protein balls immediately or place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 7 days to retain freshness.

Notes

  • You can swap almond butter for cashew or peanut butter depending on your preference.
  • Make sure to use a high-quality vanilla protein powder for the best flavor and texture.
  • If the mixture is too sticky, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes before rolling.
  • Store in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and prevent the protein balls from becoming too soft.
  • Great as a quick snack or post-workout energy boost.
