Easy S’mores Protein Balls

SERVES 20

Ingredients  

1½ cups gluten-free quick oats

1 cup vanilla whey protein powder, or whichever you like

½ cup crushed Arnott's Granita or Digestive Biscuits

¼ teaspoon salt

1 cup almond butter

½ cup (25g) mini marshmallows, not packed, chopped into smaller pieces

¼ cup mini chocolate chips

¼ cup honey or maple syrup

3 Tablespoons unsweetened almond milk, if needed

Instructions 

• In a large mixing bowl, stir together the oats, protein powder, crushed graham crackers and salt until well combined.

• Add the almond butter, marshmallows, chocolate chips and honey (or maple syrup) to the bowl. Stir until a thick dough begins to form. If the mixture feels too dry or crumbly, add milk one tablespoon at a time until the dough holds together.

• Scoop about 1 Tablespoon of dough and roll into balls using your hands. Place on a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet.

• Refrigerate the protein balls for 20–30 minutes to help them firm up. Enjoy right away or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
