Make Ahead Tips
These protein balls are perfect for meal prep. Make a double batch, roll into balls, and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 2 months. They’re great straight from the fridge or after a quick thaw from frozen.
Instructions
1. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, Herbalife Formula 1 Shake Mix, Protein Drink Mix, and any optional dry add-ins like chia seeds, coconut, or flaxseed.
2. Add Wet Ingredients
Stir in the peanut butter and honey. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to combine everything into a sticky dough. If it seems too dry, add water 1 tablespoon at a time.
3. Fold in Extras
Gently fold in chocolate chips or other mix-ins like dried fruit or chopped nuts.
4. Roll into Balls
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion and roll the dough into balls. Wet your hands lightly if the mixture is sticky.
5. Chill and Serve
Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving, or freeze for longer storage. Enjoy as a snack, workout boost, or healthy sweet treat.
Leftovers & Storage
Store protein balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
If frozen, let them sit at room temp for 5–10 minutes before eating. They’re great right from the fridge for grab-and-go snacking.
Recipe FAQs
1. Can I use a different protein powder instead of Herbalife?
Yes, but texture and flavor may vary. Choose a similar shake or protein blend, and adjust liquid if needed.
2. Can I make these nut-free?
Absolutely! Use sunflower seed butter or tahini, and skip the nuts or nut-based mix-ins.
3. How do I keep them from falling apart?
Make sure you press the dough firmly when rolling and chill before serving. Adding a touch more honey or nut butter can help bind the mixture.
4. Are they kid-friendly?
Definitely! Kids love the sweet, chewy texture — and you can add fun flavors like sprinkles or mini chocolate chips to make them extra fun.
