Mint chocolate chip protein balls are a refreshing, no-bake snack packed with protein, oats, and a sweet burst of peppermint and chocolate. They’re quick to make, energizing, and perfect for on-the-go fuel or a healthy treat.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
  • 1/2 cup almond butter or peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
  • 2–3 tbsp milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp spinach powder or natural green food coloring

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, protein powder, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Add almond butter, honey or maple syrup, peppermint extract, and 2 tablespoons of milk. Stir until mixture is well combined. Add more milk if needed to reach a dough-like texture.
  3. Fold in mini chocolate chips and optional spinach powder or green food coloring.
  4. Using your hands or a small scoop, roll the mixture into 12–14 bite-sized balls.
  5. Place the protein balls on a lined tray or plate and chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
  6. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

  • Use almond flour instead of oats for a grain-free option.
  • Chill the dough before rolling if it’s too soft or sticky.
  • Add chia seeds or flaxseeds for a fiber and omega-3 boost.
  • Use stevia-sweetened chocolate chips for a low-sugar version.
  • Great for meal prep—make a double batch and freeze extras!
